[Haskell-cafe] Sending email

Thu Apr 28 07:31:43 UTC 2016

I think I found what the problem was. I was using an Amazon SES account and
even though the email got sent successfully, the HTML and CSS got messed
up. When I used a regular Gmail account, the email came through with the
HTML and CSS as intended. So it must be something different in the way SES
expects this to be sent (what threw me off was that the email still got
sent). I guess that's the reason the *Network.Mail.Mime.SES* package
exists, so I'll switch over to using that one for the SES account and try
and get that working. Thanks.
