The mail sender has no way of knowing what client the recipient will be using, or what capabilities it will have. The polite thing is to only send plain text email ever, but we lost that fight years ago. The next most polite thing is to figure out how to send a multipart message with both HTML and plain-text components, so that the mail client can decide for itself, at the recipient's preference, whether to display the plain or formatted version of the message. Figuring out how to do this is left as an exercise for the reader. > Could you help me please with this homwork ??? thank you very very > much. Regards. Ah, you've found the wrong list. You're looking for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that it may not exist yet. Setting it up is left as an exercise for the reader. :-) -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
