BusinessConnector pub.client.smtp and HTML email

Is there any way to send HTML email with the pub.client.smtp service of the Business Connector 4.7?
I haven't found a way to set the content type to "text/html".
As a consequence my mail-client doesn't recognize that it's getting an HTML email and simply displays the source code.

To asnwer my own question: It is possible to use the MIME stream parameter in pub.client.http. An example of how to create a MIME stream is in the WmSamples package.

How to send a plain text and HTML email at once?

Hi all,
I'm attempting to use cfmailpart to send a HTML and plain text email all in the same cfmail script. I'm using Outlook and Gmail to test. I temporarily changed my Outlook settings to "read all standard mail in plain text," but it does not read the plain text cfmailpart of the email, it just attempts to format the text from the HTML email and display the links. If I remove the HTML cfmailpart from my cfmail script, the plain text version is delivered, but Outlook removes extra line breaks that I actually want to keep intact, and some of the other formatting is improperly rendered. Is there a better way to make sure email clients hold the plain text formatting (even though there really isn't any formatting with plain text) and a better way to test? The HTML version looks great in both Gmail and Outlook.
Thanks!

Use the wraptext attribute of the cfmailpart tag to add line breaks.

Cgiemail and sending html emails

Anyone out there know how to send an html email
using cgiemail? From what I have found on web there needs to be
something special in the header???? I know how to send just .txt
emails but client wants to send html email regardless how much I
warned them on spam and html emails. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. I have exhausted my search for the answer on the web
other than it can be done.
Thanks bunches! skh

You will need to do your homework.
Look at the properties (headers) of an html email you
received.
Read the SMTP RFCs.
Test your email through programs like Spam Assassin.
Test your email in various email programs.
Good luck.

HTML email and attachments don't work

I have programmed a simple PHP script to format a web page form response and send an email message as a report to my client as an HTML email, plain text alternate part, and with a small attachment. My client, using Apple Mail on OS X, only sees a plain text dump of the entire email message, headers and all. His mail client shows other people's messages of this sort properly. The hitch is that I can't figure this one out, because the same mails, when sent to other people, are perfect. They display properly in Windows email programs, and other people's Mac-based mail programs, and perfectly on any web mail interfaces I can find (e.g. Horde, etc). Does anybody have any suggestions as to what might be going on in this instance? (My customer has standard Apple Mail running in some recent flavor of Mac OS X).

There is probably something wrong with your message. Send one to me at info at etresoft dot com and I should be able to tell you what it is.

How to send html email

I searched the forums and haven't found a good answer yet. I created a page in iWeb that I want to send out as a newsletter email. I think I need to change the source of the images, etc so that the links won't be broken. Does this include all text boxes, images, pretty much everything on my page? What's the easiest way to do this?
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions.

While viewing the web page you want to send in Safari type Command+i. That will take you to Mail with the web page as HTML. You can place the cursor at the very beginning to add text at the start or at the end. Not all email clients will display HTML emails So include a hyperlink to the page so those people can visit the page for the information.

Constant Contact html email site

Anyone had any experience with http://www.constantcontact.com ?
My problem is this:
I create about 5 or 6 html emailers a month for a client and ALL images are stored in individual folders on their server because they are named slice_1, slice_2, slice_3 etc. Plus its easier to manage should they have the necessity to change a slice which contains a price or something which is easily amended.
I have another similar client who use constantcontact.com. It appears that in constantcontact you can't create folders to store your images???.......they just give you a single image library. Obviously the naming convention slice_1, slice_2 etc won't work as presumably the old image will be overwritten if I upload another one with the same name.
Anyone else had this issue. I don't want to have to give each image an individual name because it will be a nightmare to manage. I really need the facility to contain different html email images in seperate folders. Maybe there is an option in constantcontact but I'm not seeing it?
Thanks
Oz
P.S. I guess the other option would be to house the folder/images on the clients web server and just send the html through constantcontact. Its my clients choice of html emailer handler so I can't switch to an alternative.

You will need access to the webserver.
I store everything in the newsletter folder as I am a real stickler for directory structure. It works and I send out about 3,000 newsletters a month.
Jim
Jim, yes I could do that but prefer not to clog up my server with client images. I could always buy some dedicated server space for the client. Its no big deal just makes things a little more complex than it should do when trying to explain issues to the client.
I agree, I like to organise my html emails so they are in their own folder. Don't want to go raking around 100's of loose images just to find what belongs to what........that would be a slow process.

URLRequest and navigateToURL to open email client but HTML email, not plain text???

I want users to click a button that uses URLRequest and navigateToURL to open the user's default email client with email body pre-populated with HTML email.
Even though I have tried to set the contentType property to one of the following, the HTML tags always display:
application/xml
application/html
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto: ?subject=Test Email&body=<h1>Test Body</h1>");request.contentType = "multipart/form-data";
navigateToURL(request, "_self");
BTW, the above code is simplified, so I am using escape() on the subject and body text, etc.
So, is there any way to use mailto in this way to open the default email client and pre-populate with HTML email but not see the tags (BUT NOT REVERT TO PLAINTEXT)?

Jason, can I ask you: is it your assumption, or there is/was reliable polling showing that majority of users prefer manually go the mail server instead of using the mail client application of their choice - Outlook, FireBird, Mail, etc?

There are numerous reasons behind avoiding mailto links in relation to design. And it's been debated back and forth for years. Form vs Mailto link both have their pros and cons and intended usages.
After panelling groups of individuals for three seperate projects regarding various design perspectives in the RIAs we developed, it became quickly apparent that on numerous occasions users clicking a mailto link were unaware of what the resulting screen was actually for. Several had never set up the default mail client on their pc. Many thought that "Yahoo" was the only email service in the world... Now, with that said, the target demographic for those applcations may or may not be what his, yours, or anyone's project may be. The key there is going to be identifying your dedmographic and determining the tech prowness. Also, what exactly is the email's intended result? Refer a friend style? Might be better handled through a web form due to the possiblity of being able to properly track how many referrals were actually made. How many resulted in a visitor. Simply notifying admin that there is a problem on the site? Might be better to fire off a mailto.
Reliably sending a preformatted HTML email can only be guaranteed on the server side. Otherwise, you run into problems just like he is having here. Now, if the email is plain text, different story.
Again, it all comes down to identifying your usage and properly utilizng the available tools.

From:, To: and Subject: end up in email body - html email using sendmail

To the experts and the experienced:
I am trying to send email in html format from a Korn shell script on Solaris 10. The
email does get delivered and is displayed html-formatted, except that the From:, To: and
Subject: lines are displayed in the email body, rather than in the email header. I
would appreciate it very much if experts and the experienced could shed some light.
I use this command line to send the email:
sendmail -t [email protected] < testmail
The content of the testmail file is as follows:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="frontier"
--frontier
Content-Type: text/plain
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: test html email
This is a plain-text email.
Newman
--frontier
Content-Type: text/html
From: [email protected]<br/>
To: [email protected]<br/>
Subject: test html email<br/>
<h3 align="center">This is a html email</h3>
<p>This is the paragraph.</p>
<p>Newman</p>
frontier\
The email received in Microsoft Outlook (html-formatted), looks like this:
From: [email protected]
To:
Subject:
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: test html email
<h3 align="center">This is a html email</h3>
<p>This is the paragraph.</p>
Newman
Two things in the email need fixing:
1. All the From:, To: and Subject: lines are treated as part of the email body and are
displayed in the email body, rather than in the header as I wanted them to.
2. The From: line in the email header is the actual sender, not the Bursar.Office as I
put in the testmail file. This can be easily done when using SMTP (telnet to port 25)
or mailx.
How do I tell sendmail/the email client to display in the intended places the From:,
To: and Subject: information that I specified in the testmail file?
Many thanks!
Newman

I searched in google and found a solution:
mailx -r [email protected] -s "test html email
content-type: text/html" john.doe < testmail
The testmail file is a pure html file with one <html></html> element. The content embedded in this element is the body of the email, with all the usual tags you would like to use: <head>, <style>, <h3>, <p>, <ul>, etc.
The trick is piggy-backing a content-type with the subject. It seems to me this it to get the content-type into the email header rather than into the body. And that was exactly the problem I had.
The command lines was executed on Solaris 10. It works.
Hope this could be useful to someone who would encounter the same problem.

HTML Email Client for Blackberry

Hello,
Forgive me if my question seems elementary, but I am new to the forum and to use of the Blackberry. I currently have an 8830 World Edition phone and have configure on POP email address on the device. I can access my emails successfully. However, if I receive an email that contains any sort of Internet type code (HTML, Java, Javascript, etc), the code does not translate and I only recieve the actual code in the email. It is unformatted. I tried to download a couple of so-called HTML email clients from Handango, however they seem to be limited. I am thinking that there should be a client or a configuration for the Blackberry that would allow me to see Internet related emails formatted as intended. Anyone run into this issue or have any suggestions? I am deperately looking for a solution. Thanks in advance for your input.

As you mentioned you can't view HTML formatting in your email you might be running on BIS 2.4. RIM recently introduced BIS 2.5 which supports HTML email view for its BIS customers. But this yet to be implemented for all the carriers as its been done phase by phase. For getting HTML view you also need to have device OS 4.5 (4.3 for 8110). So you're not far away from your wish!!! But can also have 3rd party software which can do the same trick for you but again these are not free.

HTML Emails and background images in Dreamweaver

Hello. I created a HTML email in Dreamweaver. The original design came out of Indesign and had very specific background art. I removed all the text out of the Indesign and created a jpg. I took this jpg in Photoship and sliced and optimized it. I imported this HTML into Dreamweaver. Here I need to add in all the text (which is variable). I was originally thinking that you can only place background images with CSS. But I was told that you should not use CSS for HTML emails. So instead I left all the background art as normal images inside of a table. At this point I need to add text over these images. They only way I could figure out to do it was to add a div tag right over the image and type into there. This seemed to work fine but when I tested it in some emails all the div tags with text showed up under the table with images. This needed to display over. What is the best way to handle this issue? Thank you in advance.
Melanie

Sorry, but you cannot layer text over images in emails. Simplify your design or make an image with text on it in Photoshop. Use absolute URLs to images on your web server. And give people who can't see graphics and HTML pages in their email client a link to the HTML page on your web server.

Sending HTML email from outlook 2013 exchange it comes broken to non outlook clients.

Hi, when i send out email from my outlook 2013 where is configured Microsoft exchange account it comes broken to gmail clients. All html mail is broken and attachments comes like this file.jpg_ or adobe.pdf_ If i send mail to outlook user
all is good but if client uses something else , they receive broken mail.
Msg comes to gmail clients like this
http://community.office365.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/communityserver-components-userfiles/00-00-39-06-09-Attached+Files/4745.errror.jpg
Without signature and normal phone and email.
Client is using windows 8.1.
I started discussion here http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/158/p/227602/704778.aspx#704778 but they sent me to your forum. You can read our discussion
and see what i did already.

Hi,
Some question to help narrowing down the causes:
1. Does this issue occur when using Outlook to configure the Gmail account, does the format change?
2. Does this issue also occur when sending HTML emails to other remote domains?
If the emails is fine when opening them on Outlook, it think Exchange does not change anything on the email. The issue occurs depends on how email clients open the email.
Thanks,

HTML Email and layers

Hi,
I created an HTML file in Dreamweaver to be used for an
E-blast (html email). The html file has images and the text is in
two layers which sit on top of the images. It previews great in
Explorer, no problems.
When I go to put it into the email, it separates the layers
with the text and the rest of the html file. In other words, I see
the text first, formatted as it shouldbe and then below that is the
rest of the html file with the images. Does that make sense?
Any ideas what I can do to keep the layers where they should
be? I thought I had done this in the past but maybe not.
Thanks for any help!
Mina

Not so. If you are going to use positioning in an email, make
sure that the
styles are either inline, or in a stylesheet embedded between
<body> and
</body>.

I cannot send email - error message as follows : 'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk.' I can send email from other apple devices, and the email settings are identical. Any ideas?

For some reason I cannot send email - all was working fine, but now I get the following error message when I try to send email:
'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk'
I can receive incoming mail ok and I can send email from other Apple devices. The problem seems confined to my Mac Book Pro.
Ant ideas?

Email and html graphics on iPhone....just seeing text only

I've been testing this and sending myself forwards from my yahoo email and opening the emails in my iPhone, and only get the text only formats. However I can still see the html email on my computer yahoo. I'm forwarding the same email to myself, but on iPhone it only shows as text only. And sometimes it only comes across as 'mime-attachment', and I don't even get the text. This is the case whether I forward the html email from my iphone or my computer back to myself. And also the same whether Wi-Fi or Edge. Thanks!

have you check all your push settings in the email options ? also. have you tried to reset network settings to clear any bad network settings that could be preventing it. go to settings. then general. and reset and reset network settings. this will also reset any wifi you have saved.
