Re: [epub] making HTML newsletters

Hi William (and Sheila...),
I've worked it out....
It's really simple - you'll kick yourself (honestly)...
In outlook express 4 (errr...I hope that's what you're using..) you do this
: -
Go to compose a message, click "format" and scroll down to "apply
stationary".
From there, click "more stationary", and find your html file, then click
open. And hey presto - nothing... (don't ask me why that doesn't work....)
Then close the new message window (without sending it...)
Now, from the main OE4 window, click the "compose" drop down thingy, go to
"new message using" and click your html file from the list on the right.
Up (should) come an email, with the html file you designed sitting right
inside it.
Hope this helps : - )

Ben

>> Making an HTML newsletter is pretty much the same as making
>> a web page.  Use an HTML editor or preferably a standard
>> text editor (some HTML editors add extra coding that can
>> lead to misinterpreted HTML in email readers)
>>
>> MessageMedia recommends avoiding the use of frames, JavaScript
>> and DHTL. I believe this is because different email readers will
>> interpret the coding in a different manner so ones intended newsletter
>> layout may be altered.
>>
>> Try and keep the overall file size under 30K
>>
>> Test your HTML newsletter in as many different email readers as
>> possible. Try and find the lowest common denominator coding wise
>> that looks the best in all of them.
>>
>> Sign up for as many HTML newsletters as you can.  Look at the
>> source code to get some ideas on good coding methods
>> (In outlook, right click on the email message and "view source")
>>
>> Of course, as has been repeatedly mentioned many times...
>> don't send HTML unless you know the recipient can view it or they
>> will get a jumbled mess of garbledeegook in their email.
>> Best practice s ask subscribers their preference as to text or
>> HTML during he signup process.
>>
>> There are also service providers and tools that can send a multi-part
>> email message to deliver either HTML or text dependent upon the e-mail
>> readers viewing capabilities.  Just be aware that not all those that CAN
>> view HTML want to receive it due to increased download times and personal
>> preference.

>> Good Luck!
