Ask EI for an updated version of your script.  I'm looking at a 3.5 version of the code and it does appear to support HTML mode.

All the email components have a line like that "session("News_MsgType")="1" except the If CDO section.

if scEmailComObj="CDO" then
    'on error resume next %>
    <!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" UUID="CD000000-8B95-11D1-82DB-00C04FB1625D" NAME="CDO for Windows Library" -->
    <!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" UUID="00000205-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4" NAME="ADODB Type Library" -->
    <%
    Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2
    Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    Set iConf = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
    Set Flds = iConf.Fields
    With Flds
        .Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = cdoSendUsingPort
        if scSMTP<>"" then
            .Item(cdoSMTPServer) = scSMTP
        else
            .Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "mail-fwd"
        end if
        .Item(cdoSMTPServerPort) = 25
        .Item(cdoSMTPconnectiontimeout) = 10
        'Only used if SMTP server requires Authentication
        if scSMTPAuthentication="Y" then
            .Item(cdoSMTPAuthenticate) = cdoBasic
            .Item(cdoSendUserName) = scSMTPUID
            .Item(cdoSendPassword) = scSMTPPWD
        end if

At the beginning of /includes/sendmail.asp, you will see this statement.
if session("News_MsgType")="1" Then
 
That is the indicator that designates the need for an HTML e-mail to be issued.
 
You may find it wise to capture the value of that setting before you force a value into it, then restore the value after using it, in order to prevent having adverse affects elsewhere.
 
So, something like this:
dim saveMsgTyle
saveMsgType = session("News_MsgType")
session("News_MsgType")="1"
call sendmail (parameters here)
session("News_MsgType")=saveMsgType
 
Hope that helps.

I think the CPO is the only one I could get to work with godaddy smtp... how do you change the html/text setting in the sendemail.asp.

Some mail components may not like HTML emails.  When I install my HTML Drop Ship PO mod, I occasionally have to run tests until I find a mail component that will produce the correct results.
 
Try changing to another component and you may be successful with that.

"Also, remember that if the e-mail is sent as text, the HTML will not beparsed. E-mails in ProductCart are normally sent as text, unless youedit "sendmail.asp" to force HTML in all cases."

Yea... I got the email to send... but I think there is a character limit to each line, because I moved the <ul> list to the english_storeEmail_21 line, and I don't get the same error as before.

What code do I change in the sendemail.asp to make the registration emails html instead of plain text.

You certainly can have HTML code in language.asp as long as there are no double quotes or line breaks. In this particular case. make sure that there are no line breaks in your code. The entire Unordered List code must reside on the same line. That is:
<ul><li>My first item list</li><li>My second item list</li></ul>

... and not:
<ul>
<li>My first item list</li>
<li>My second item list</li>
</ul>

Also, remember that if the e-mail is sent as text, the HTML will not be parsed. E-mails in ProductCart are normally sent as text, unless you edit "sendmail.asp" to force HTML in all cases.

Thanks for the quick replies... no, that's the first thing I thought of.  I had a list <ul> at the end of this line: 
dictLanguage.Add "english_storeEmail_20"

I just removed the <ul> list and kept everything else the same... and now the error has went away.  I can't use a list in the email?

Edit: I put the list text back at the end, except I replaced the <ul><li> with just line breaks <br> and the error came back.  Is there a character limit or something?
