Performing an html mailshot

[John]

Hi

I need to send html newsletter to staff on a regular basis using outlook
automation via vba. I want to know if there are any guidelines to create the
newsletter and the way the code handles the newsletter. In particular I need
to know;

1. How are images handled in newsletter? Are they coded with absolute path
or relative i.e. C:\folder1\folder2\....\myimage.jpg or without the path and
are simply saved in same folder as the html? or is it better to upload
images to web site and give a reference to them in newsletter so no images
accompany the newsletter for maximum compatibility with mail systems?

2. Coding wise, I am thinking to read the html newsletter file into a file
system object and then assign it to the HTMLBody part of the outlook mail
item. Will this work?

Any pointers to accomplish this would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Regards

You need to ask this in a VBA newsgroup, or save yourself a lot of work and
try our email scheduler (http://www.repeatmail.com) which will allow you to
send multiple individual emails, html or plain text, with attachments,
either as a one-off or regularly at a specified time and interval. The
recipients list can be drawn from your Outlook Contacts, a plain text
file,database or spreadsheet. It also allows you to specify the interval
between each send so as to avoid triggering any spam limits on your account
