I'm trying to send some HTML email (yes, I know it's evil but that's how we want to send some stuff) and I'd like to personalize it (really to make it easier for people to unsubscribe with a personalized link).
I can throw my whole message in the header or the footer, and it works... in Eudora. Since so many people use Outlook, I'd like to get it to work with Outlook. It seems that Eudora will take a message with Content-type: plain that really has a body with <HTML> .... </HTML> and display it fine. Outlook just displays the HTML as text. Even if I send Mailman a message (to trigger the sending of the header/footers) with the following headers embedded in: Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit MIME-Version: 1.0
it just changes it to multipart and Outlook puts the HTML footer as an attachment.
The personalization in the header works fine -- in Eudora (and in Outlook, but it just is HTML code).
If I personalize the header but leave it as text and add in extra Content-type headers as listed above, Outlook puts the header as a text attachment and shows the Content-type lines in the body -- with the HTML showing up fine in the body
As far as I can tell, the only way to personalize is still in the header/footers -- yes?
Has anyone else come up with a way to send HTML in the headers and footers to clients like Outlook? I'm able to send HTML email in the normal body of the message
Also, but not as importantly, is there any way to send a "invite" message in HTML?
