sending out group messages with website attachments?

[jrteeter]

Hello,

I run a small non-profit company where i send out periodic e-mails to a
group list. I've recently gotten more elaborate with my e-mails...delving
into html and such.

I also have a company website where many images, html, and other files are
stored and displayed. I want to archive my newsletter e-mails in my website
directory and add the website newsletter to outgoing group e-mails but i
don't know how.

initially i thought creating html e-mails would suffice but to make the
newsletters effective i need to add lots of graphics, etc. which would so
overload any recipients in box.

so what i mentioned above (and i think it can be done with outlook) is that
i add a website url to the e-mail so that when the e-mail is opened they get
an excellently designed...image centric newsletter that is derived from the
company website...which won't bog down the e-mail inboxs...and will be
dynamic enough for my group list.

let me know what u think and if u have any suggestions or ideas

This won't work with the most recent version of Outlook, which blocks
loading of external content, unless each user ads your newsletter to their
safe sender or recipients list.

You might want to think about what "effective" content in an email
newsletter consists of and seek a happy medium of content that you can send
by email and content that users will need to visit your web site for.
