ASP work in Outlook Express?

Out of curiosity... Does ASP work in Outlook Express? Because whatever in <% hi %> is hidden from the html text but is written in the source.

ASP is a server side application that is process on an IIS server.

You can send emails to an email address that can contain HTML but all the ASP is done prior/during the sending of the email, and if doesnt really matter what type of email application they use.

I hope this helps.

This might be a stupid question, but out of curiosity I used the Outlook Express and wrote "some<%hello%>thing" and sent it to myself. the part that was <%%> was hidden but the html code showed it was there underneath.

They reason that happens is that the html engine in outlook express does not recogonise <%hello%> as a valid tag so it does not know how to render this information and just ignores it. It is the same as putting in <Aasda>.

ASP is process server side, where email is just a text document, sent to a user, it is received by a an email server and displayed in the appropriate email tool that the end user have, whether this be outlook/express, hotmail, gmail etc.
