create email newsletter with pictures and hyperlinks using publis

[John Downing]

I want to create an email newsletter in publisher that will contain pictures
and hyperlinks. Basically, I can do this right in my yahoo email but I can't
get the fancy formats like those in publisher. What type of file should I
save it as and then how do link it to the email. I've tried doing this
several ways including saving it as a webpage or jpg file, publishing the
page, and then copying it to the email text --- but that didn't work.
What am I doing wrong here?

John,

A couple of things come to mind.
1. Publisher is basically a desktop publishing program.
2. Images in an html message must reside on a web server.

I use FrontPage for my newsletters. There is a free program that will
provide you with the basics: http://www.nvu.com I have been playing with it
and it would do your job.

Consider MS-ListBuilder. There is a free add-in for Publisher, too. Create
the eNewsletter as a Web Publication vs. a Print Publication. You can insert
HTML code fragments, too.
