HTML emails are VERY VERY easy to do. its just as easy as creating a static html website.
So first off.. You would want an html design editor like dreamweaver or frontpage (or even iweb). You can hand code it if you want, but you dont have to with those..
So you basically create a page for view in email in design mode, and then click code so you can see the code.
Then you go on your host and create a folder in your public_html called emails. Put all of the images in that folder that will be in your email.
once you have uploaded the imaegs to that folder, you go to the code mode and everywhere you see this:
![]()
you will change to the ACTUAL file path which is now going to be :
![]()
Make that the correct path for the correct image EVERYWHERE you see that..
Once you have finished that, if you go back to design mode, you will see that all the images are gone.. thats ok.
Copy ALL of the code from the first to the tags. This will leave out the tags which you do not need in an email.
Go to your email provider and compose a new email.. Make sure you have the option for HTML email, and once you are in HTML, dont switch back because it will loose the html.
Send a few tests to yourself to make sure it worked. If it worked, then send them out to everyone..
as far as which mail clients will not be able to see it.. most CAN see it, some people choose to turn it off. For instance, on m aol mail, i can see the tables and little red Xs and it says "to show images click here"
That is common now, butt hey make it easy for people to see if they want, AND if they know and trust your site, they will want to see it..
Hope this helps
