HTML field in my email event

Found Solution:
YEAH, found what I needed to do. I am leaving this posting on so that if anyone else needs to do something similar they can reference what worked for me <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=54778&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
MY Goal:

Here is the code that worked beautifully! I created a field called "mailout" with a yes or not variable. Anytime we add an announcement and select yes for field mailout, an email is sent out with the announcement fields I wanted. If we selected "no", then it would just return us to the announcement page and not email sent. I put the code in events for "After record updated" (edit screen) and "After record added" (add screen).
Here are the My fields, I used:
mailout = yes or no (pick list)

date = date of the announcement

notice = the html field that we use rte to edit

title = text field

link = link field
HERE IS MY CODE:
if($values['mailout'] == "yes")

{
//** Send email with new data ****
$email="news@mydomain.com";

$from="website@mydomain.com";

$msg="";

$subject=$values['date']." Announcement from My website";
$msg.="<b>".$values['title']."</b><br/><br/>";

$msg.=$values['notice']."</br>";

$msg.=$values['link'];
$ret=runner_mail(array('to' => $email, 'subject' => $subject, 'htmlbody' => $msg, 'charset' => 'UTF-8', 'from'=>$from));
if(!$ret["mailed"])

echo $ret["message"];

}

else

{

header("Location: announce_list.php?a=return");

exit();

}
