[thelist] about HTML e-mail

[Jos é Angel Centurión Bassó]

I found an article in the WebMonkey site
(http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/98/08/index3a.html)

explaining HTML e-mail and how it works. I shall begin this message
thanking you for this, because I've been searching for some information
regarding this for a long time, since I'm a graphic designer working in
webmedia, multimedia, etc. and it's kind of difficult for me to find and
learn the technical part of developing some products, and now I have
some clients asking me for this stuff, so thanks again.

  I had a question, though, about this. There is a part where it
explains that the header field of Content-Type: text/plain needs to be
changed to Content-Type: text/html, and since most mail agents will not
let you modify this field, (I've tried Outlook and Eudora), I need to
find a Unix mailer program. I'm working in Mac plataform, but my clients
work in Windows 98, and since they'll be the ones sending this html
e-mails, I find some trouble in choosing a solution.

  Is there a Mac or Windows mailer program capable in doing this? I
wonder that if I install system X in my computer, and since it's
basically Unix and contains a mailer program ( simply called 'Mail" ) I
could be capable of achieving this.Is there another solution there?

  I'm working with my ISP -who also works with Macs- trying to find some
solution for this. I will apreciate some advice and enlightening from
you regarding this stuff.
