Hi all,

I am using perl script to send the site user feedback to the site owner. The information submitted from this form can be best viewed ie in HTML format in hotmail and yahoo but In outlook it shows the html code not form.

Please guide me in this matter.

Thanks in Advance.

Dinesh.

Check to be sure that you are sending the proper email headers. If you want your email to be viewed in html format in Outlook, you need to specifically set the Content-type header to "text/html". HTML will still show up normally in web-based email because the page is already being viewed in html format.

I've had problems with this as well. I solved it by making sure the header was in the right place. It needs to be the last header.

It needs to be the last header before the body of the email.
