Been creating HTML emails for a few months now, but just run into a big problem. the method I am using is pretty simple. I create the page in html. All graphics and images link direct to the web address ,EG http://www..... which is included in the link.
I then open the html file in Microsoft Word and send to recipient.
It looks like some setting have been updated recently in word which is breaking the images when they come through to the email. I tried it with an older version of word at home, and its working fine.
Anyone have any ideas of any other simple ways I could go about making this work, maybe other than using word?Need help here guys, its been wrecking my brains for the past week..
Cheers

In Outlook Express you can edit your emails you send to have HTML content.
if you open a new email message and go;
View > Source Edit it will bring up a source code tab at the bottom of the email box and then you just place your HTML code into that space and thats your HTML email.easy

If you think that is an issue, try looking at what your emails look like in Lotus Notes, which is about 40% of the email market.

Open up the HTML page you built in IE.
GO Tools> Mail & News> Send Page
It will embed your page in the body of the email - quick and easy.

Use a proper mailing list app.
You can use a PHP one, or find a freeware app to run under windows.

Radar,
This doesnt embedd the page, just attaches the document. Or do you know differently?

I can send you an HTML newsletter from it if you wish.

It physically embeds the webpage in the body of the email.
I use Outlook so it may attach in other Apps but in Outlook it works - I send a company email every month to like 400 people that way.
