Shawn Gordon wrote in message ...
does anyone know if there is a way to specify what font an email will use
when sending through sendmail? If you are emailing a report for example,
and the client has their default set to Arial, then none of the columns
will line up because of the proportional font. If there was a way to
specify the font that the email reader will use as a default then you could
solve the problem yourself.
thanks,
shawn
Shawn, this is what we did to solve the same problem:
We studied up on MIME (mostly by reverse engineering emails sent by Outlook
Express) and created emailed reports as "multipart-alternative".
The first part is formatted as text/plain, and is intended for older email
clients.
The second part is text/html, with appropriate HTML tags, including <PRE> to
tell the email client to use a fixed width font.
I hope this helps.
