Re: html mail

You can use both, plain and html text on your mails since MIME allows to do that. Is a good advice to include the plain text before the html for some email clients that can't handle MIME on their mails. If some people don't want to read the html version of the mail message no problem, exists the plain version. If some people can't use MIME, the plain version are at the beggining of the messages. Its good to include a warning like "If you are reading this, is because your email client does not support MIME content. You might see strange format in the message..." or something similar between the headers and the first boundary of the message, If sended both types. Greetings.
