Someone else will probably have to help you out if this is a one-time job.
If you think you will end up doing a good bit of it and will need to build
some mail management pages and such, then I recommend DMXZone's Smart Mailer
extensions. They have versions for ASP and PHP.

I hope I never have to do it again.
I am handicapped by the fact that I use Eudora on the Mac as an email
client, and Eudora has the unique 'dog-barf' plugin specifically for HTML
emails.
Grrr....

| don't laugh HAHA :)
using outlook express/windows, there's instructions at http://dwfaq.com
if you want to keep mail operations on the mac, use mozilla to send the
mail, it has a "html source" menu option in Composer.

Use CDONTS. The following is an ASP/JScript function that I use.
-------------------------------------
function SendEmail( fFrom, fTo, fCC, fBCC, fSubject, fBody, fLoc )
{
var mail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail");
//--- allow HTML formatted text
mail.MailFormat = 0;
mail.BodyFormat = 0;
if( fLoc != "" )
{
//--- point to image files for email 'attachments'
mail.ContentLocation = fLoc;
}
try {
//--- fill in the details
mail.From = fFrom;
mail.To = fTo;
mail.CC = fCC;
mail.BCC = fBCC;
mail.Subject = fSubject;
mail.Body = fBody;
//--- send it
mail.Send();
}
catch(e) {}
}
The actual email looks like (first stored as plain text then the HTML
formatted text):

| Thanks - that's not what I was looking for, however, but it is an
interesting approach. When the number of these emails becomes tedious for
my client to do manually, he will be persuaded to pay me to build such a
critter for him! 8)

I had to do this because information is emailed automatically to one
or more people when things are added/changed on the site. The database
keeps a track of people who should be notified.

| NN4 sends HTML mail as its native format.
My father uses an 8 year old Mac and NN4. He sends HTML mail all the time.
On the other hand, I have a new Mac with the latest OSX, and cannot send
HTML mail with Apple's Mail App (my chosen email program).
Thus, in addition to the Mozilla alternative recommended above, presumably
to be run under OSX, you can also install NN4 in Classic mode. If you have
an old Mac around which you use for testing web pages in legacy browsers,
perhaps it already has NN4 installed.

| Dan:
Thanks for the suggestion! I do have the Mac and the NN4. But my client
(who will be the one sending the emails manually) does not.
The solution is that I used OutlookExpress, set my format to HTML, clicked
on the Source tab, pasted the HTML code in, checked to make sure that all
the links were absolute, used FILE | Save As... to save the file to a *.eml
file (<shudder> - shades of NIMDA), and will forward that file to the
client.
It was pretty simple.
