- chocodog0
ahh, that mail. no problem ... maybe you should convince to do an email too.
- chocodog0
those are some cool transitions ... and tell him his paintings are hot too!
- ian000
yeah. the transitions are kinda bo bo. it's a series of gifs (4 per painting) that fade into one another.

i was doing email designs for a while, like what you're talking about. i would design the email in Photoshop, slice it up, and export it as html. Text can be added in Photoshop or as plain text in the html.
Size should be a conideration ... that is both image size and file size. Remember the mail client isn't going to have the width that a normal browser has. I usually aimed for around 450 px width.
The program we used to send out multiple email is called "Group Mail". There is a free version if this is a one time thing. http://www.infacta.com/gm.asp
hope that helps.
... and Hey! No Spam, right! ;)

remember test, test, and then test again ... especially in any popular web based email clients.
