I've been having trouble figuring out how to send an html email with
Entourage - I can do it easily with Microsoft Outlook Express but on a
Mac can't seem to get it working. I created the code in Dreamweaver -
now what??

Sending HTML code in an Entourage email message not really straightforward,
but there is one way of doing it. Here are the instructions:
To send HTML email messages using Entourage, you need an additional header in
your outgoing mail. To set an additional header, go into Entourage, pull down
from "Tools" to "Accounts", double-click on your account, then click on
"Options". From there, type in the following values:

Header: content-type
Value: text/html

The best thing to do is create a separate account for sending HTML mail only,
because Entourage will try to encode ALL of your outgoing messages as HTML
from that point forward, so anything that doesn't have HTML code will be all
squished together and become unreadable.

Now remember, your message should be written as HTML code, so the message
would start off as:

<html>
and end with
</html>

Everything else within the HTML tags would be standard HTML code, and be sure
to make ALL of your links ABSOLUTE LINKS (include the full URL).

A good article to read if you plan on using a program like GoLive or
Dreamweaver to create your HTML email is "Adobe GoLive & HTML Email."
