Ernie writes "I want to send our Customers an E-Mail automatically after they have filled out an application on Our website. Their e-mail address is required in the Application. I want to call a stored procedure that would look up their e-mail address and send them a message basically saying thanks for applying and we will contact them shortly regarding their application.

I have a rather lengthy message to send them. The message does get sent. However, when I send it, parts of the message are not aligned or truncated. How do I increase the size of the E-Mail body and is there a way to format it? (ie Bold, Italics,Left align , Center Align etc.)"

SQL Mail kinda falls down if you have elaborate email formatting, it really only supports text email.

However, you can use other means to send email:

Merkin also has an article on building a mail queue:

Search SQL Team for "mail", you'll get these and several other articles that should help you.
