I have to set up an email with an embedded webpage.. Never done this before, not sure what you have to do to set this up..
Anyone got any link or a description on how to set it up?

Qucik and dirty:
1. make a webpage, inline styles, absolute links to images.
2. save it as html.
3. open outlook (I told you it was dirty) and go Tools | options | Mail format | Stationary Picker.
4. pick your html file as a template et voila.That really is quick and easy but it does work.

you forgot to mention that that webpage has to be online as well. or else it points to local files on the sender's computer.

Sorry - took that as a given.
Prob best to make a different version of the page just for mail; the right size, no external css, aboslute links. If it's going out to lots of people, look into span ratings too...

Iam really rusty with dreamweaver,
whats an absolute link, and inline styles?

anyways, best way is by not sending html e-mails and offer a link online since html e-mails are annoying and you don't give the receiver any choice.

An absolute link is one with the entire address of the image. Reletive is where the image is relateive to your site.
i.e: (and don'c click these links)

Damn - broke my code...
You have to make sure all the images point to where they are on the web. Are you using IE or Firefox at the moment?
