How do you send a HTML email from a Frontpage application?

M

marketing gal

I have created a webpage in Frontpage to send as a mailshot, but
unfortunately when I go to send it (File>send as e-mail) all of the images
disappear, just leaving the text.

Someone suggested to me that I might need to embed the pictures somehow, or
change the settings. I am stumped.

Please help if you can!

To send a html page as an email, the images must be on a public server because they are not embedded
in a web page, the page only contains links to them.

To create an html email with embedded images, it needs to be done in Outlook Express, with it set to
compose in html mode.
When the email is sent, the images are then embedded by OE and the email is sent as a monolithic
binary file.

The individual email is monolithic, once in the inbox it is then part of a polylithic file.
( I think )

How come Outlook Express does it monolithically and Outlook is polylithic? I've always wondered why
it could not be easily done in Outlook.

Actually there *is* a polylithic file structure.

Actually it's not hard to grasp.
This response in itself is a monolithic file on the server. When you click the Subject header to
open it in Outlook Express, it is downloaded to your machine and added to the polylithic .dbx file
in your machine for this news group. The subject header is nothing more than a pointer to the
location in the .dbx file for the binary data for this particular message.

Additionally, a multi page web site is in a sense a polylithic file set.

I'm not gonna ask 'cause the answer would certainly fry every synapse I have left today.

"Inventive" would be more appropriate, as "polylithic" is not a word...

As a matter of fact, I checked out www.dictionary.com, and neither is "poly
lithic," or "poly-lithic."

Okay, so somebody made up a word. Now, I will do the same. The joculization
of the English language is occurring at an increasing rate, due to the
proliferation of invented language on many popular web sites.

From now on, "joculization" is a word.

Monolithic binary file? Neat...actually it uses something called a CID.
You can see that in the headers of e-mail which has embeded images. They
are like an attachment but different because in Outlook Express or Outlook
the e-mail will not show as containing an attachment. But the CID is like
you say a binary "attachment." Monolithic is cool doesn't that mean BIG?
This can be done with a 1px image which isn't really too monolithic.

CID is a pointer to the location in the .dbx file of the binary data required to recreate the image

Thanks for your help. So, are you saying that what I have designed in front
page is actually useless, and I need to start from scratch and design my
mailshot in Outlook Express? Problem is that our default email is from
normal outlook. I tried to design it in Outlook express but wasnt really
having the same effect plus I need to do something to set it all up. Can I
do anything from Outlook (normal)?

Ta!

Thanks Steve,

Are you saying that, basically, I cannot create a html email in frontpage,
and that I have to compose/design the entire thing in Outlook Express?

You can create it in FP, but can not be sent from FP, however all images or other non-text items
must be upload to a web site on the internet, and then the page must have absolute URLs to the
images on the internet.
