I was just looking for the same thing because of the way the customer's order confirmation email doesn't line up very well. 3 years ago that was fine because a lot of businesses blocked HTML email but I doubt that's true anymore.

I'm thinking it might be possible to include the print version of the order after making sure the logo graphic has the full path embedded. Has anyone tried this? If you have, what gotchas did you experience?

Geoff,

I created a modification of the Drop Ship Purchase Order so that it sends a HTML e-mail:
http://www.greybearddesign.com/productcart/html-dropship-po/

When preparing to send the message, I had to set this variable which the sendmail.asp script will know to send the message in HTML mode. 

session("News_MsgType") = "1"

Once I had overridden this value, I discovered the need to reset it or I caused other problems on unrelated scripts (order confirmation).  So you have to grab the value and save that setting, override and use the new setting, then reset it. 

That gets you to the point where the e-mail can be sent in HTML mode.  As for the actual formatting of such a message, I suspect this is beyond the scope of what could be done in the forum.  It's going to take digging into the current code, as I did for the PO mod, and improvise.

I was wondering if anyone had implemented using HTML email notification to customers. If so could you provide any recommendations or tips?

Thanks
