Is that possible i can send out html mail using apple mail???

I dragged the xxx.html file into my compose mailbox and send to my friend. He could just opened the mail as "attachment"
Yet, when he open the mail in yahoo or hotmail. it loads automatically as html newsletter mail.

Does he need to have any settings??? Why can he receive the newsletter from macworld as html mail... but mine just an attachment???

please help me ?!!

i believe it has to do with the mime types... for html email it has to be set to something of the effect of "multipart/html". using apple mail, the closest you're going to be able to get is dropping the .html file in as an attachment... some will get it, some won't.

Try using Mozilla - it's got HTML email capabilities built-in. It's not impossible to send an HTML email from Apple Mail, but damn difficult to do properly, and ultimately a waste of time when there are more appropriate tools for the job.
Computer thez nohhh...
