HTML Email

cybermatic · 13th August 2003, 4:57 PM

I want to be able to send HTML emails through Microsoft Outlook. Is there anyway I can create a HTML document in Dreamweaver and somehow import it or copy and paste the code into Outlook etc?? I am new to this and have no idea how it is done so any help at all would be much appreciated.

Thanks

My search for an answer to your exact question... was NO. Well, no for a person using a mac anyways, although i never even found a way to do this on windows.

So, to substitute... i wrote a PHP mailer that allows me to send whatever i want.

that is the only way i found around it.
there is some software that you can install that works with Outlook and allows you to costruct a real html email. I cant find a link for it.. but im sure you can find similar things with google.

In outlook express.

Create a new email message.

Go View > Source Edit

You now have 3 tabs below the email content: "Edit", "Source" and "Preview".

Click the "Source" tab, and paste any html into there you want.

Too easy.

In Microsoft Outlook (not express) click on Tools > Options. Select the "Mail Format" tab from the top and then click on "Stationary Picker".

Then click on the "New" button and you can choose to use an already created html document.

That should work
