Good Morning :)
I understood that you could write HTML inside an eMail and have it be received with the effect that you wanted, not the code!! ~
ie.
<HTML>
I can write in <I>Italic</I> or <B>Bold</B><BR>
<B><I>Or I can write in both</I></B><BR>
<HR>
<TT>...and that's all</TT>
</HTML>
That's just an example, not a correct code, but is it possible to see ~
I can write in italic etc. within eMails?
And is any of this that I've tried to explain, explained good enough?? L0L
I sometimes do NOT have a way with words.....
Thanks in advance for any help!!
CyaBye...

Yes, you can write html in an e-mail. Not all e-mail clients read it though, and they definitely don't read it the same way :)

If you're coding, let's say, a newsletter, make sure all your html is contained in the e-mail (no external style sheets or ssi). Your design should be fluid, and instead of using css to layout the newsletter, you should use tables instead :eek: (so it's readable by older email clients). You should code the whole email with the basic Web page setup; html, head, body etc.

Thank you Allie, :bufly:
I'll try again and see if I can't get it to work this time. I obviously left one of the elements out of my code I guess?!!!! Just knowing that it SHOULD work is a great help :)
