HTML emails - how do I create these?

[chris]

Hi,
I work for a charity, and I'm researching how to send HTMLs with our
current applications.

What I'm trying to do is simple:
Compose an HTML email which uses graphics from our website rather than
our servers, and send this to a large number of recipients.

By not attaching the graphics, we can ease the load on our servers -
we're looking to email 50,000 people at a time.

We receive a number of emails from organisations all the time where
outlook blocks images and asks if I'd like to download them. This is
exactly what I'm trying to do.

I've run some tests, but unsuccessfully. Does outlook do this, or do I
need a 3rd party program?

Thanks for your time,
Chris.

Thanks for such a prompt reply, that really helped out. I downloaded an
eval copy of your software - the problem was with using outlook as an
email client.

I've a little more testing to do, but if it's straightforward to obtain
text file lists of emails from our current database, you'll most
probably have another customer next week.

Cheers,
Chris.
