I have a simple webpage I created. I want to send this page via email to someone. BUT, I want the email they view, to be the actual webpage. (If I copy-and-paste the code in the email ... then all they recieve is the code.)

How would I go about this?

Do you have an smtp server to send e-mails from your host?

And I think you need a server side language to send e-mails.

I'm not sure. There's no way to change my outlook settings to use html?

Hum...
I am not sure, maybe you can use your e-mail account.
I have always used and SMTP server with a server side language.

You might need to look this one up.

I know to send html emails to yahoo email addresses, you simply don't add <html></html> tags. I not tried it with a page with tables and stuff, just a basic <font color="#ff0000">This work?</font> sorta page.

He is not looking for how to send an html page, I think he wants to be able to send one.

If using MSIE and MS Outlook you can simply view the web page you want to send, click on "Tools" --> "Mail and News" --> Send Page. This will load the page into Outlook, but your Outlook mail format will need to be set to compose the message in html. If you cannot set this are you on a corporate network and do not have permission to change it?

Also, the recipient will need to have MS Outlook as well I think, and have active x enabled.

I hope I haven't said what you already know :)
