While this isn't the best forum for this question, I will try to answer
it the best I can.
It seems there are two prevailing techniques for sending styled email
messages:
- ETF (Enriched Text, started by Qualcomm), text/enriched
- HTML, text/html
Here is a primer for ETF:
<
http://wso.williams.edu/~eudora/kens/etf.html>. I trust you can find a
source for learning about HTML yourself.
Messages are sent according to the MIME standard. RFC's exist for MIME:
http://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc1521.txt.
A tip is to use the View Raw Source option in Mail.app, to show what is
actually sent in plain mime encoded text.

Sorry that this doesn't really have much to do with Cocoa, but I
wasn't sure
of any other place to post.
When sending styled e-mail (i.e. with fonts, colors, formatting, etc.),
should I be sending it as HTML (for example, to make "My Text" bold, I
would
send "<b>My Text</b>"), or is it actually RTF data being sent through
e-mail?
Thanks,
mw
