Nathan,
I understand better now since I had a recollection that you said you might use DTW_SENDMAIL.
You're right of course, since you have no control over the mailing agent of the recipient and they may not even permit HTML mime types.
I have never used any HTML other than some really basic formatting which one hopes should be rendered similarly by any recipient.
Peter

Yes, and that's what I'm using. DTW_SENDMAIL seems to be handling HTML formatting as expected, however various clients seem to support HTML differently. Which HTML tags are safe, not-safe?
Then you have an email client like Outlook where users might have many horizontal and vertical panes separated by dividers, and they expect the message preview to display in a pane having quite limited vertical and horizontal height and width. If your HTML table width exceeds those boundaries, then vertical and horizontal scroll bars appear. Should we not use fixed-width HTML tables?

Need I say that Net.data DTW_SENDMAIL has as mime type parameter which we set to HTML.
