[FX.php List] XML emails?

[Bob Patin]

To be honest, I don't really know WHAT they're wanting... :)

The company's web app generates sales leads, which the car dealers  
want to pull into their CRM systems (I think). Appprently these CRM  
systems use XML, and one of the dealers asked if XML output was  
available. I of course said I'd look into it...

So it's just text, basically a person's name, address, phone, car  
interest, purchase plans...

Is this something I could format using XML tags, and then use the  
mail_function.php script for (I think I got that from you, didn't I?)?

Thanks,

Bob
