sending an html email

[army]

This is probley a silly question but can you have a form send an email message in html format instead of a text file format ?

And another silly question, Can you have a user enter more than one email address in a -MailFrom field and have the form send out more than one email, like this form has ?

Hi, is this what you want to do, have form fields for:

recipient1

recipient2

title

text in style 1

text in style 2

logo1

picture1

etc. or maybe the ability to choose styles for the html??

I'd tackle that by adding an extra stage.

If the first form just creates a database record, you can use calculation fields to create the email addresses, kinda like:

If(IsEmpty(recipient2),recipient1,recipient1&";"&recipient2)

....to put the separators into the address only if there's more than one address

Also make calculation fields that put html tags, links, images etc into the message body text.

Make the new record reply page your mail form and embed all this stuff in it as raw hidden fields. Give them the choice of amending or clicking OK to post.

You could get the same effect with a Javascript form in one step, but i think using a database is much easier to write
