i am trying to create an email from zope that can send the email in both plain text and html, so that users who only use text can view it, as well as those who have html enabled.

how do i seperate the two within the <dtml-sendmail> tag.

Please look for "MIME" support (--> "dtml-mime"). You need a "Content-Type: multipart/alternative").

can i just put the <dtml-sendmail> text bit before the html

<dtml-mime type="text/html" encode="7bit"> this part for the html </dtml-mime>

</dtml-sendmail>

This will not work. You must construct a "multipart/alternative" MIME message. It consists of two embedded messages: the first (!) "text/plain" and the second "text/html". I do not know the details and would need to look them up. But surely, you can do that yourself ;-) Dieter
