Title: RE: E-Mail with text and HTML

I have looked at messages with text and HTML, but cannot find the secret of exactly what needs to be sent to an SMTP server.  I see that all text and HTML messages have in the header that there is a boundary between the text part and the HTML part (i.e. your message contained Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\r\nboundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C096CF.674118D0"), but when I use this type of header and and try to separate the body of the e-mail into two parts with a boundary between them, it still doesn't work for me.  I end up with all text or HTML.  Does anyone know the details of what exactly needs to be done to send a multipart text and HTML message?

Take a look at the message I sent today with the subject: "RE: Automatically Submit HTML/ASP Forms (fwd)".

Subject: E-Mail with text and HTML

I use a script that connects to an SMTP server via a socket connection, and
then sends e-mail in HTML format.  I have seen e-mail that contains both
text and HTML.  The text will show in the preview pane of Outlook and then
when you open the e-mail you will see the HTML message.  Can anyone tell me
what I need to do, or a good reference, so that I can modify my script to
send both text and HTML in an e-mail?
