make sure outlook is configured to send HTML format mail

u would have to have HTML tags stored along with your text in the DB...
u could (depends on the complexity of the HTML page u want to send) store HTML tags in a few fields....
much like tags work here int he posts...
consider sending PDF as it is a lot easier to print--pdf---attach send....
anyhow....good luck!

I haven't worked with email sending yet but the idea occurs to me that you could make a text field containing all of your html code, embed in the html code special tags to identify where your info would go:
field html(text)=
<head>
<title>My Email</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
**column1**
</td>
<td>
**column2**
</td>
</tr>
</body>
now write a script that will replace **column1** with whatever you want in column 1 and replace **column2** with what you want in column 2. You get the idea. Then send your email to include the html field (I don't know actually how to do this part)
field html(text)=
<head>
<title>My Email</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
**column1**
</td>
<td>
**column2**
</td>
</tr>
</body>
now write a script that will replace **column1** with whatever you want in column 1 and replace **column2** with what you want in column 2. You get the idea. Then send your email to include the html field (I don't know actually how to do this part)
take a look at:
for general field-populate email approach.
All the best!
