Hello...

I've been using a PC at work for awhile, and finally got a Mac here...

We've been sending out HTML email which I always did up in Outlook Express on the PC, no problems really.

I've now tried doing it in the Mac version of Outlook Express, and it is a major pain in the ##!. It doesn't let you edit the source, and when you view the source it gives a bunch of crazy characters.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good HTML email program? or a simple solution to this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks :-)

Simple: Don't send HTML-polluted email. If you must send HTML, use MIME to attach it and provide a plain text equivalent in the body. Or mail out a link to a web page.

HTML email is nonstandard bloat, not to mention a major security hole and a threat to privacy. Those of us who use emailers written to the published, universally adopted standards for email formatting will thank you.

so what email program do you use?
I wasn't asking about whether or not I should use HTML email, I was asking about what client to use in doing so.

thanks.

And my point was that since, as you've noticed, every client will handle it differently, the only real solution is to not rely on HTML.

If you must, I think Green (http://www.eware.fr/dev/) handles HTML email now. OS X's Mail.app does, and I believe Netscape's email client does. I'm sure there are others (PowerMail? Mulberry? Eudora?).

I used Green while I was in OS 9 (before it started to render HTML in email), and I currently use Mail.app and (at work) Outlook for Windows and Pine.
