How to send mail in rich text thru the internet

[AMedz]

I was trying to send mail containing a rich text format and this is not a problem if your sending this locally(within the notes domain), but when i send my mail thru the internet it appears in plain text.
And is it also possible for me send mail in HTML format using Notes? any ideas? help pls.....

This is from the help. You might also want to edit your location document to send MIME across the Internet. (The help database can instruct you in that one too.)

One trick with your help database is to full text index it, and alway search it, rather than trying to find the subject by browsing.

To send your Internet mail or news in plain text or HTML or both

1. Choose File - Preferences - User Preferences.
2. Click the Mail And News Icon.
3. Under "Internet message format" (or Internet news format), choose an option.
Plain text Choose plain text when you want recipients with internet style addresses to receive plain text. This is the safest option to make when you are unsure if your recipient's mail program can read HTML formatted messages or Rich Text Format messages.

HTML format When you want recipients with internet style addresses to receive HTML formatted text and graphics. Note that Notes Rich Text would need to be converted to MIME when sent over SMTP and this conversion causes a loss of fidelity if your default mail form is set to Rich Text Format. Recipients will receive HTML email if they can read it. If their e-mail program does not support MIME, then they will not be able to read your message.
HTML and Plain text When some recipients of your mail have e-mail programs that support MIME, they will receive HTML formatted mail. If some recipients have e-mail programs that don't support MIME, they will receive plain text.

The format you choose also depends on whether your recipients have Notes addresses or Internet mail addresses. See Using MIME or Rich Text Format in the mail form.
Choose "Prompt when sending" to have Notes prompt you to specify a format each time you send an Internet mail message.
Note If you send an HTML formatted message (MIME) and if recipients e-mail programs can support MIME, then message is delivered as such. Otherwise, recipient receives a plain text message.

Great! I tried it and it works. but theres one problem with regards to sending mail in html format.
Yes, it does send the mail in HTML format but it doesnt include all images i added in the mail, is there a way i can send my mail together with the images in HTML format? Tnx!

Also, if you want to send rich text to another Notes user, but it must go through Internet first, do the following:

In edit mode of your message, go to menu Actions > Special Options
and check the box beside "I am sending this Notes document to another Notes mail user(s) through the Internet"

This will encapsulate it when sent, and decapsulate into rich text again at destination.

On that same "Special Options" screen, there is an option
"Encoding method for Internet mail Attachments" which can also be useful.
