[AccessD] CRLF in email

Hi Rocky,

I did something like this once upon a time.  First, I used Expression Web to
create a page that looked like I wanted it to look.  Then switched to code
view to see the HTML.  I copied that to VBA code, and made syntax mods so it
would work there.  This will keep you from guessing what you have to type in
HTML to get what you want.

I bet there are a number of free apps that would do the same thing.  Maybe
even Word?

HTH!
Dan

Darren:

Nothing more or less than using <b /> for CrLf. 

But now the user has ANOTHER request.  He'd like the sig in Eras Medium ITC,
and some in blue and some in black.  

Anybody? :o)

Would using <p> work if the email client is set to display only plain text?

Rocky, proper html formating should be <p>bla bla bla</p><p> </p>.  You
could also use <br>.  The difference is <br> is a soft-return where <p> is a
hard-return.

However you should consider using both CRLF and <p>.  This is the same as
looking at the source of a web page.  Using the CRLF formats the source and
the <p> formats the html.  Some email readers may be set to display only
plain text (strip out html) so then the formating would still remain the
same.
