Im trying to add background color to this html email.
Ive tried putting in
<script> tags with css code inside
bgcolor in body tags
and a css style sheet
All of which didnt work. Ive read that it could possibly be the provider (gmail) I'm sending these tests to, but there has to be a way.
All the ways I have tested on a separate .html file which has all changed to what I wanted. I just cant get it to in the actual email. I am using the mail() in php.
$message = "
<html>
<head>
<title>Rate Your Experience</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor = '#0000FF'>
<center>
<p>
<h2>How well did '$recipient' do?</h2>
<h4>Vacancy Title: '$vac_title'</h4>
<h4>Vacancy ID: '$vac_id'</h4>
</P>
</center>
<center>
