Need help with sending HTML and Text email from ASP page. I want to specify both and depending on the receivers email reader the apropriate one should show. Any help or pointing to a source for MULTIPART MIME type is going to be greatly apreciated.
View RepliesI'm looking for a simple way to do the following:
We have a database that serves-up content to a website. Some of those items
are events, some are news articles. They're stored in the DB as formatted
HTML so ASP just drops them right into a page shell.
Now, we want to send out a newsletter email containing some of those items.
No problem sending as HTML. However, some of the members want just plain
text. Is there some magic method in CDO that can automatically convert HTML
to plain text? Or, is there some existing VBScript code out there that can
do this?
BTW, the environment is IIS 5.x (Windows 2000), Classic ASP, and CDO.
I'm using the ASPEmail component to send HTML email newsletters:
Mail.Host = "mail.myserver.co.uk"
Mail.From = strFrom
Mail.FromName = strFromName
Mail.AddAddress strTo, strName_In
Mail.Subject = strSubject
Mail.Body = strMessage
Mail.AltBody = "PLAIN TEXT VERSION"
Mail.isHTML = True
Mail.SendToQueue
The emails are coming through fine, though in Outlook the option to 'View as Plain Text' is greyed-out. This should let the user see the plain text version as defined in the code above, but it is inactive.
Is it possible to send email both as plain text and html in the same email
using asp?,,,if so...how do you do it and what do you need to set up to do
it.
How to send the HTML and Text email at the same time? CDONTS only send one type of email at one time and we should know before hand what type of email the client can receive. In my case i want to send both and depending on clients email reader the right one should show up. I have used ASP email component also but for this component to work properly we should have relaying enabled on our SMTP server. Due to the threats of SPAM i dont want to do this. I am not any demanding here but simply trying to find the better way.

View Replies View RelatedI have a blog online and I'm wanting to make an ASP page on my computer to just input the title of the daily update and the "entry" I'm making. So I'm developing a form page so that when I submit the information from it, it goes into a page that shows the HTML so all I have to do is copy and paste.
Question is when for instance I'm typing in my "entry for the day" and I have a break I need it to automatically put in a <p> or <br> for me
Is it possible, using CDONTS, to send out both a text and HTML version of an e-mail (in the same e-mail) so that people who have HTML turned off on their client will see the text version?
View Replies View RelatedI am sending out an HTML email using CDOSYS and want to include some HTML code within the text of the email. So, it's something like:
Hi
Your link is <a href="www.domain.com/subfold">Link</a>
But it includes the code within the HTML. How do I just show it as it's written?
I have an html page, how would I be able to just get the words in it? I mean I can probably program to get it but is there any existing tool that we can use and just fetch the word content of a html page?

I have created a form in html that goes to an email which will supply the person with all contact info. So I need Two things to make this work:
1.) HTML page with email form and submit button (done)
2.) ASP page with code that validates all the info and mails the info to the persons email (dont have)
SO, I need some type of code that will validate this html document. Any Ideas ?
i have a field which contains html code, which is then rendered as a layout for several templates.the user can change the template if they so wish. the layout html is currently stored as a varchar 8000 - but 8000 characters is not enough for detailed layouts.
i dont know where to begin on this problem, does anybody have any useful links. i would search in more detail but i dont know the procedure is called for what i am doing
what i need to do, is have the asp refer to a html/text file and render the html directly from that file? Is this possible? or is there any other such ways to do the same thing.
I need to populate a field with html formated text. I'm using a simple form field to do so.
When I use a textarea to return the record, it comes out formatted, but when I use a Response.Write command, it comes out as plain text. Anyone can tell me how to make the response.write publish formated text?

View Replies View RelatedI have a client that wants to send HTML based email.
Building and sending isn't a problem, but he wants to include a plain text link at the top of the email that will display if the user doesn't not accept HTML email. Maybe it is the product we are using to send the email, but there is no way to include non-HTML formatted text in the email. Is there a way to send non-HTML and HTML in a single email?
I am creating both a text and html version of the same newsletter and
sending using CDOSYS.
Both of them incorporate a list of stories drawn from a database which are
assigned to a variable storyloop.
The text version works fine, but partway throught the html version when
viewed in Outlook 2000, it goes wrong. View source shows nothing obviously
wrong, except that partway through the storyloop, it just stops and then
goes onto the next section on the email.
Outputting storyloop to the browser gives perfect results, but if I remove
all parts of the html email and just assign storyloop to the .htmlbody, I
see that after exactly 1024 characters in the resulting email, I get ------
=_NextPart_000_0057_01C59E01.6E3F5F50--
Does anyone know why this would happen, and more importantly, what I can do
to correct it?
Is it possible to send an HTML email through CDONTS without formatting it
into one big long string?
I support a website. When we send HTML emails from out system, we generate a variable called "str". We set that str variable to the objMail.htmlbody property of the mail object. Frequently, random spaces appear in the email when it is received by the recipient, however those spaces do not always appear in the same place (yet frequently they do). additionally, we'll sometimes see some actual HTML code in the final email, and usually shows up as a complete tab, such as "<br>", or "< TD BGCOLOR='#FFFBF0'>".

View Replies View RelatedI am trying to finish some ASP code for a webform of mine that takes values input into a form and upon hiting the submit button, emails the form in HTML format with all completed values in their respective boxes to the recipient specified. So far I've gotten the text box values to carry through using a line such as this:
<input name=""date2.3"" type=""text"" id=""date2.3"" value="""& Request.Form("date2.3")& """ size=""2"" maxlength=""2"">"
However, I cannot get checkbox values or dropmenu values to carry through to the resulting email. What do I need to do differently with Request.form to get it to send the checkbox and dropmenu items in the e-mail?
I have a rather large form in HTML that needs to be sent as an email. The body of the email is approx. 400 lines (that's in HTML). Is it possible to somehow transfer the entire form to the asp mail script so that it automatically sets the body of the email to contain this form (with input)? Or do I have to write the body by hand in my asp script - like this:
line 001 Body = "<table><tr><td>some text & var1 & </td></tr> "
... ..
line 200 Body = Body & "</table>"
I dont have CDONTS support. i am using the following script. with this, even yahoo doesn't consider the email to be HTML and displays all the HTML tags and treats it as TEXT. here is the code i use! Please dont consider it abuse as i dont know how to encloase the code in TAGS!

How to I wrap this to process the information as HTML EMail?
I have enabled all the HTML options in the script but I still get a text email:....
I'm working on an email message sent in HTML format. As the email reach
the adressee the HTML is correctly visualizaed (I made sever tests with
Outlook 2003).
The fact is that the code contains a <formthat should be submitted to
an external ASP page. The <formtag naturally cointains a
target=_blank and a proper action.
Anyway it semms to be impossible to make the form work. The submit does
not work; it is evidently an Outlook permission matter...
I verified that sever other things such as <iframes and Javascript code
do not work at all when an HTML is visualized in Outlook.
Is there a way, in your knowledge to go round the problem?
When I send this code (using CDONTS) I had expected just the title to appear on the email but ALL of the text - including the HTML tags are coming though.
