how to send an HTML email
- Thread starter NateBro
- Start date
It should be as simple as outputting a Content-Type header at the top of your message, and then producing your message as well formed HTML

PS your perl post confused the heck outta me
if ( anything that can be true ) { do_this; }
is the same as
do_this;

I tried an HTML header, and it didn't work. do you have one that works?
sorry about that, i was trying to get that done and i was loosing my mind, so i had to stop and rethink it, and i was thinking something way off from what i really wanted to do. :S

Ok, this is weird...
I used
and this is the email it sent...
why would it send the "print MAIL"?
but if i take the " Content-Type: text/html\n\n " out it does not send the "print MAIL"
does some one have a different send mail script that works for HTML emails, i should just get a clean working one, and delete this one.
thnaks,
~Nate_Bro

...where is the missing Quote(s)?
it sends this email without the quotes
There has got to be something i missed.
Code:
$ENV{PATH} = "/usr/sbin";
# open the pipe to sendmail
open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t") or
&dienice("Can't fork for sendmail: $!\n");
# change this to your own e-mail address

Ok, i made a script that only sends an email..
and i still get this in the email..
what did i do wrong now?
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
print header;
print start_html("Remote Host");
#### Program Starts here ####
my $recipient = 'natesk8@sbcglobal.net';
$ENV{PATH} = "/usr/sbin";
open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t") or &dienice("Can't fork for sendmail: $!\n");
print MAIL "To: $recipient\n";
print MAIL "From: me\@myself.com\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Testing email script\n\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print MAIL " this is a test body \n";
close(MAIL);
#### END ####
print "it has been sent\n";and i still get this in the email..
Code:
Content-Type: text/html
this is a test bodywhat did i do wrong now?
I misjudged, and assumed that the Content Header was all that was needed the link above should be all you need
