Question by harismahesh
I have a Create task page. So once Task is created, and if user admin clicks mail button. Outlook will open and add the subject and body which I typed.
But my doubt is can I add an image and also can we change teh font color in Message using code itself. I am a newbie in this thats why the dumb doubt.
<a href="mailto:xxxx@xxxx.com?subject=Any Subject&body= Any Topics">Mail</a>>

Outlook is just an email application, which shows email as it appears.
There is no such thing as Outlook Compatible email.
You should provide direct link to images where you are sending a HTML email. Here is simple example of doing this using native mail()[docs] function.
<?php
$subject = 'Email with image';
$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Email with image</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><img src="http://mydomain.com/direct/link/toimage.jpg" /></p>
</body>
</html>';
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "rn";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "rn";
// Additional headers
//..................
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
