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

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 ;-)
