Re: [epub] making HTML newsletters

Hi all,

I must have missed something here.  I laid out a simple web page, no frames,
javascript or dhtml. I pasted it into my email letter, and configured the
"send" to send as html, sent it to myself and alas all I got was coding. So,
can anybody tell me what I did wrong.  It's kind of embarrassing, as I can
usually dig myself out of any hole.  I think I'm just getting lazy or I just
haven't tried hard enough. But, hey, if some nice individual could show me
the easy way out, I would definately appreciate it!
