Ok basically I'm working on a CV that is going to be sent out across the web and I was wondering how do you send an HTML e-mail? I get e-mails from bands and Apple that have links to images, different fonts, the whole bit, but I've no idea how to do that so does anyone know how to do that and can tell me or know where I can look? I use Gmail as my main mail client but I also have a service that came with my web space. So does anyone know how to do it?

I receive / send my emails (one of them is gmail account) using Entourage on Mac.

I am not sure if you can just copy and paste the HTML code directly on your browser when you are at your gmail account but , it lets me send HTML email thru Entourage. But it is completely Entourage's capability that does it.
Also Entourage does not come with that capability out of package. You will need to find some script and install/run it to have Entourage send HTML emails. Very annoying. I think this applies to Apple Mail software too.

On PC, I used Outlook and it was very easy. I just had to go into the Properties box and find the filed that says "allow HTML email" sort of thing.

But then again this was on Windows 2000. I tried the same the same thing on Windows XP and Outlook and I couldn't find a way to send HTML email.

Super annoying that is.
I hope this helps.
