My boss wants me to send out an email to past customers about upcoming events, but he doesn't want the customer to have to download the attachment, he wants it to be right there in the body of the email. I know I have to make it a jpeg but I can not figure out what the size needs to be and what program to do it in? Also when i click on the picture i need it to take me to our company's homepage? PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP

Send Complex HTML with Inline Files 2004 By: Rob Buckley

This free script allows you to send complex HTML via Entourage. It will...

Take an arbitrary HTML file and embed it in an outgoing Entourage message
Better still, it will parse the HTML for links to files (images, etc),
isolating duplicatesŠ
Attach the file to the message with base64 encoding (using UNIX magic to
guess the MIME type)Š
then rewrite the HTML to reference the attachment rather than the local
file.
If you run the script on a draft message, whatever text you type into the
message body will be used as the plain text alternative to the HTML (for
non-HTML compatible clients).

Please consider not sending this type of message unless your customers
have opted to receive it. It can be very large and your customers may
not all be on fast network connections or may have limited mail storage.
You'd be imposing on them.

Instead, consider a simpler message with a hyperlink for more
information. This gives them the option to download your graphics and
you'll be less likely to invoke ill will.
