    Default E-mail formatting?

    When e-mailing invoices and estimates, is there any way to customize the
    presentation of the e-mail beyond changing the message? Specifically,
    I'd like to add some html so the receiver can click on a link to pay
    online. As it is, I can type the URL in the message, but it appears only
    as text to the reader, not a hotlink, which, unfortunately, is quite
    vexing to some of my clients.

    It would also be nice to add a company logo, etc. to the email body.

    On this same subject, is it possible to send the entire invoice/estimate
    as HTML rather than an attached PDF? I haven't seen these options
    anywhere.

    Thanks.

    Travis,

    HTML is merely a string, just like anything else. So, instead of:

    sBody = "Dear sir..."

    do

    sBody = "<html><head><title>E-mail</title><head><body>Dear Sir..."

    and so on. Then, depending on what mail component you're using, you will
    probably have to tell it that you want the e-mail in HTML format.

    As far as your PDF, sure, it's the same thing. You must build the HTML the
    same way you'd build any other string.

    Ignore this. Sorry -- my newsreader posted it the wrong group and I
    didn't notice until it was too late. This has nothing to with ASP.
    Apologies.
