Making CDONTS prettier

[SteveHigh]

Hello

I use CDONTS on a Web site which works fine. The visitor inputs information via an online form and a copy is sent to the webmaster and the visitor himself:

<%
Dim ObjMail
Set ObjMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
ObjMail.To = "Webmaster@hisSite.com"
ObjMail.CC = sEmailAddress
ObjMail.From = sEmailAddress
ObjMail.Subject = "Feedback"
ObjMail.Body = sFullNameTitle & vbcrlf&_
sFullName & vbcrlf&_
sEmailTitle & vbcrlf&_
sEmailAddress & vbcrlf&_
sBusinessTitle & vbcrlf&_
sBusinessName & vbcrlf&_
sCountryTitle & vbcrlf&_
sCountryName & vbcrlf&_
MessageName & vbcrlf&_
MessageTitle
ObjMail.Send
Set ObjMail = Nothing
%>

When the Webmaster/visitor receive their copies (by email, of course), it looks a bit boring, as in:

Name
John Smith
Email
JSmith@whatever.com
Business
Mechanics

etc

How would I make this message a little more attractive? For instance, to put Name, Email, etc in bold, or maybe use a different font from courier?

Many thanks

Steve

set;

ObjMail.BodyFormat = 0
ObjMail.MailFormat = 0

then format and send the message in HTML source code

Hello Chris

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Your suggestion seems hopeful; I'll try it tonight.

Very many thanks.

Hello

I have inserted

ObjMail.BodyFormat = 0
ObjMail.MailFormat = 0

as follows:

Dim ObjMail
Set ObjMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
ObjMail.BodyFormat = 0
ObjMail.MailFormat = 0
ObjMail.To = "Webmaster@hisSite.com"
ObjMail.CC = sEmailAddress
ObjMail.From = sEmailAddress
ObjMail.Subject = "Feedback"
ObjMail.Body = sFullNameTitle & vbcrlf&_
sFullName & vbcrlf&_
sEmailTitle & vbcrlf&_
sEmailAddress & vbcrlf&_
sBusinessTitle & vbcrlf&_
sBusinessName & vbcrlf&_
sCountryTitle & vbcrlf&_
sCountryName & vbcrlf&_
MessageName & vbcrlf&_
MessageTitle

and this produces (in my inbox) the following format:

Fullname Eample Email examples@yahoo.com Business None Country Example Message Hi

I now need to format the HTML, so that the email appears a little more attractive.

Do I do that in the code above? So if, for example, I wanted Fullname, Email, Business, Message to appear in navy verdana bold, in decsending order, how would I go about that?

Many thanks for any advice or an example.

Steve

SteveHigh, since you have amended the mail type to HTML you need to build your email using HTML i.e.:

ObjMail.Body = "<span style='font:bold 12px verdana; color:blue;'>Hello " &_
sFirstName & "!"

Cheers

Nick
