I also use the "OLD" Sendmail logic (no time to convert working code).

When you put together the email message, you have control on how multiple parts are link together. If done properly the email client will display the way you want.

You need to look into MIME types and multi-parts email.

With multipart emails, you would typically create a plain-text message and another html message, the EmailClient based on the preferences would display either. With the multi parts you can also include attachment if you really want to have the message and HTML as two separate entities. You can also attach anything (HTML, Images, PDF or anything else). There are some encoding rules to follow.

What I do to figure this stuff out, I send myself emails and look at the document source (how it is put together). I then make documents more and more complex by adding editing (will generate a HTML email) or by attaching anything to it. Once I figured how it works, I encode my Comet mail program to spit it out the way I want with the attachment I want.

Good Luck and Have Fun !
