Script to Send HTML Email with Productive Computing Plug-in

[trumans]

Hello All -

I am using the Productive Computing SendMail plug-in with FM 8 and Outlook. I have a working scrip to pull certain data for customized emails to customers that get routed through my Outlook email account. However, I cannot figure out how to create html emails (nothing fancy, just good looking fonts and maybe a couple of vector graphics). I'm pretty sure there is a way to configure the plug-in to send html email, but there are no clear instructions (at least to me) on the Productive computing website. Can anyone offer help?

It's been awhile since I worked with this plugin. However, typically, you would create a calculation field for the body of the email. This is where you would put all the html tags that you'll need. Then use the calc field as the body.

Thanks for answer! Do I just drop all of the html directly into the calc field?

When I've tried to do that it simply shows all of the html code (in the Form mode, for example) instetad of rendering it in html. Am I missing something?
