Hi everyone i was wondering if someone could please help me. I have a newsletter system that i use but at the moment its just text to send messages. What i want to do is enter a message into the message box and then it get sent to the user but alow have a design when the user views the email. But what i dont want is the box to be filled with html i want the box to just contain the text. I have tried sending a test newsletter using some html tags like ie <b>This is bold</b> but it actually shows the tags and doesnt put it in bold i wonder if this could be a problem even though i dont want any html in the text box i want the html in a separate area. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Below is php code. quickmessage.php is the part where the box is and class.SimpleMail.php is the backend part of quickmessage.php

quickmessage.php code:

<?php

require('config.php');

?>

<html>

<head>

<title>Quick Message</title>

</head>

<body>

<p align="center">Enter the message below to send to the Newsletter user.</p>

<p align="center">Choose Mailing List:<br />

<?php

$conn = mysql_connect(SQL_HOST, SQL_USER, SQL_PASS)

or die('Could not connect to MySQL database. ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db(SQL_DB, $conn);

$sql = "SELECT * FROM ml_lists ORDER BY listname";

$result = mysql_query($sql)

or die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

echo " <option value=\"" . $row['ml_id'] . "\">" . $row['listname'] .

"</option>\n";

}

?>

</select>

</p>
