It can be done but it's difficult.
Any images must be on a publicly accessible server.

Have you tried doing it in Outlook or Outlook Express set to compose in
HTML mode??

I have actually written web pages using Outlook Express, just to prove
it could be done.

Easiest way I've done it is to compose it as a single (a lucy) page in FP,
then copy paste it into Outlook Express.

Hi David,

It's not difficult if you create your page in FP and reference all your
files, graphics, style sheet, etc. everything in the page 'absolute' not
relative. Don't use javascript or flash in the page, keep it simple html.
Make the layout about 600 pixels wide as most people read their news in a
smaller window. Publish the page to your server and then you can send it
through the browser (IE) or cut and paste the code into an e-mail, whichever
you prefer. You can even reference the page for text only reading in the
title to show as a link in your e-mail like this: <title>Webworksite News
HTML version: http://www.webworksite.com/news2.htm </title> If you have a
small subscriber base, send it out in small blocks of addresses using the
bcc option.

...and link the images with absolute links to where they're stored on a
public server.

OE will embed the images if they are on the local hard drive.

But it's still much better to. Why send all of those images to all of those
email addresses?

True, but some may not have a place to store the image on the net.

I see. I figured that anyone sending HTML emails would have a live web site
somewhere, or at least a free space, but maybe not.

Sometimes I don't feel like uploading images and then linking to them if I
have a quick newsletter to get out, so I use OE. Its never to more than 50
peeple anywah.
