Please do use full html.

As we all know most html mail is spam, and your "newsletter" will be filtered accordingly!

:D

123950 2003-02-26 01:58:00 I agree with Heather, be sure to test and test again before you send anything.
Also something to note is that some companies block certain types of html email content, like iframes/layers, javascript, etc.

If I've already done the html code the way I create the html email is to use the source view.
In my Outlook Express this can be accessed by creating a new email message and clicking the "source" tab at the bottom of the email window.
You can also "preview" your html email from there too.
I have OE6, so hopefully you have this option too.. :-)

Hope this helps!

You could try a program called e-campaign . It will allow you to send your HTML news letter and will also provide a plain text version for those that cannot or will not receive HTML .

The program also lets you manage your mailing list and gives your recipients the ability to subscribe/unsubscribe .

You can download a trial version at http://www . lmhsoft . com/

There are a number of apps . that will let you do this but the way that e-campaign handles HTML/plain text is very good .
