mails in html

  Date: Dec 06    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 373
  

Could someone tell me how is it possible to send a mail in html with
Evolution (or another one) when the text is already formated in a file
of a type mail.html ?

I mean, I want to insert it like a photo or copy and paste it but
anytime I try, I only send a pure text file off the type
<html>...bla-bla...</html>

Its been so long since I messed with html email because its not allowed
in most groups...but a quick search found this:

Write a Message Using Rich HTML Formatting in Evolution

To write a message using HTML formatting in Evolution:
Hit Ctrl-N to create a new email message in Evolution.
Open the Format menu.
Make sure HTML is selected. If HTML is not yet checked, click on it.
If it is selected, leave the menu without clicking.
If HTML is not yet checked, click on it.
If it is selected, leave the menu without clicking.

Now you can use all the formatting tools in Evolution's formatting bar,
insert images, graphical smileys and links, and much more.

This link http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/18727.html
is for inserting images in a html email but it might also help you with
other html settings too.

Thanks for your help, but I think I haven't been very clear: I don't
want to send any picture nor any link, this is quite more easy in
evolution than the explanation of novell by using the mode "html" !

All I want is to make sure that an email is sent with a black background
and white letter (and a particular typo for next step), that's why i try
to type, inside or outside the html mode something like:

quote

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 TRANSITIONAL//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="html; CHARSET=UTF-8">
<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="GtkHTML/3.26.0">
</HEAD>


<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#b2b2b2" LINK="#FFFFFF">
<FONT COLOR=#b2b2b2 SIZE=2><PRE>

<FONT COLOR="ffffff"> my text </FONT>

</PRE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

unquote

But anyway i try, my mail is interpreted as pure text on the recipient
side and printed with black lettters and white background and all the
tags clearly apparent.

I think I am missing a special tag (MIME or sthg) that will tell the
mail reader: "hey, this mail is html don't print stupidly the text but
make an interpretation of it !"

so if someone prints it it comes in white text on white paper?

 
Answer #4    Answered On: Dec 06    

No, I want the printer to print only the black backgrounds where the
letter would be only "holes" in the printing i.e. white letters and
black background....

but that's not exactly the point, I just want to know how (if) it is
possible to write html -code- in a mail and the recipient program would
understand that the text has to be pass through some html interpreter.
