I want to make an HTML email. When I send this, all I get is the HTML code. How do I make it show in the email?

Thanks :D

So you're sending HTML code in an e-mail, and you want the body of the email to execute the code, thus look like a web page?

What mail client are you using? You have to be sending the message in HTML format, and be setup to receive message in HTML. And just as an FYI... when you specify font faces in your code, they must be installed on the client's box in order for them to display properly.

Apparantly all mail client can do this. Hence all the junk mail I get that looks like a webpage. The supergo ads are a good example of these.

I just want to be able to do that

No not all mail clients can send HTML email. Take outlook for example. If it is set to "Rich Text" or "Plain Text" you can't send an HTML email. What client are you using?

You can receive HTML email through most clients such as Yahoo, Hotmail, etc but that doesn't mean you can send them.
