HTML - Sending Html Newsletter Using Outlook
hi!
we are sending newsletter to clients. we are doing like: 1)creating newsletter in dreamweaver 2)running on brower 3)copy the entire layout using ctrl+a and 4) pasting it on new message window in outlook 5)its displaying as i copied everything is fine. its reaching to clients as we sent. the problem is the newsleter take more than 100 kb while its going. but actual size is just 50 only. so pls suggest what is the problem exactly. how to recude the file size or is there anyother way to send newsletter via outlook. pls suggest me Similar TutorialsHi everyone, I've been searching around the web trying to find out how I can send using Outlook a html and text email newsletter automatically. I am quite happy creating html only newsletters, and text ones for that matter, but I have been digging and believe that by using multi-part code I can send to both and the recipients email client "allows" whichever version to be displayed - does this sound right? I'm hoping to simply create the html with the relevent mime references and boundaries (dont know what they are but have seen them on enough Google'd pages to know that they mean something!) and then copy and paste into Outlook - the newsletter is only going out to a few people at a time. Any suggestions or advice would be very greatly appreciated. Regards Allan Hi, so I'm trying to make this e-mail newsletter. It's entirely images, tables and text. So no javascript, just plain stuff. I tried attaching it as a signiture file and I had trouble sending it. It also didn't come out right. I'm trying to avoid using a software. Its basically just a block of HTML I need to show up as the only content in an email. If you just put HTML into a email text field, it just shows the HTML code in the email as text. Any ideas? I have created an html newsletter which is just about ready. I am trying to add a header image to top cell of table however when I preview the table expands and I get a bunch of whitespace. Image is set width and in edit mode appears fine. I am using Sharepoint Designer and Web Expression 2 but not luck removing all the whitespace. Any suggestions? thx Hello, I am trying to create a HTML newsletter email, but for some reason the table I created for the framework is scrunching inside MS Outlook. It appears to be correct with every other medium (various webmails and such). Is there a way to force outlook to keep the table properties I put inside the code? I attached the HTML file as well as a screenshot of how outlook looks. Any help is greatly appreciated! Hello to all. I have designed a newsletter in html that i am ready to email out to people. Only thing is the client wants the image to be displayed instantly with no attachments. So basically embedded into the email. Does anyone know how to do this? Reading other people's comments i am sure there is a way. If i insert the html ito the email itbecomes an attachment which i do not want? PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks Gray Hi, I'm a beginner with HTML and am trying to generate stationary using HTML for Outlook2007. The below is what I have for my code and the look is actually very good. However, when I tab from the subject line to the body, the cursor ends up at the beginning of my centered image. From there, the image moves when I type. What I'm looking to have happen is for the image to be static (un-movable) and the cursor to actually start positioned below the image with a left justification. Does anyone have any ideas?

What can be causing Outlook to be rendering the HTML built by Cobol incorrectly. Thanks, Jared Hey, I built an email newsletter for a friend of mine using GoLive! It was fairly simple he wanted a header graphic and a green box on the left where he could put information about classes he was teaching/things relating to the articles in the email newsletter. Problem is... is that none of the ways I found to build it would come through safely in any email client, be it gmail, thunderbird, or otherwise. I was hoping to find one of two things: a good template we could paste his stuff into, or a free program that we could build his newsletter that would be generally readable in most mail clients. What advice would you offer to me, I'm not extensively familiar with HTML again, i just recently got back into it after a break (too long, cuz i know little to nothing now except how to pick apart and analyze code, just not how to build from scratch!) Hence why I was using Adobe GoLive. If you could recommend a template or a program that would be free, that'd be fine... otherwise any comments or info would be great. thanks. Hi there, I have the almost impossible task to create a newsletter (text + pics) that contains a background image and needs to be distributed using Microsoft Business Contact Manager (Microsoft Outlook add-on). So, can you tell me if background images are 100% good html or not? If yes what could I be doing wrong (CSS, links to images...) Please help Marco Hi, I'm trying to insert HTML in Lotus Notes and I'm having problems figuring out how to do this... Currently it gives me the option to send a message in either rich text or plain text, but I see no option for HTML. The HTML newsletter has already been developed, I'm just trying to get it inserted in Lotus Notes- Can anyone help?? I have a client who's dead-set on sending out their own HTML emails via Outlook. I create the HTML with absolute links for them via Dreamweaver; then they attach the HTML "as text" into a new Outlook message and send it out. It works surprisingly well except for one thing: Outlook always drops out any background image so that part of the message just looks blank. Is there any easy way to force Outlook to display a background image correctly? Thanks! Hey guys, so, I'm having some problems creating HTML newsletter emails in Outlook 2003, whenever the newsletter is viewed in a browser it works fine, the layout stays the same and everyones happy. However, when this is put in an email as HTML text the format completely messes up. Does anyone know a way round this? I've tried importing it into Word and saving it, then copying and pasting it in but still no luck. Any help would be great! And i am having a problem. Here is an example i made for the problem. It is being made my someone who has no knowledge of html in dreamweaver and then the code being tweaked by someone who knows html to be perfect. A sample line of code that comes up is this. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <img width="195" height="755" src="file:///C|/Users/dog/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/en_US/OfficeImageTemp/clip_image002_0003.png" align="left" hspace="12" vspace="10" alt="Text Box: blah blah. " /> </body> </html> When i try to test emailing the file the picture does not show up. I know the reason. It is because it is on my computer and it cant find it. But the question is how do i get around this? The pictures and pieces of the newsletter are being made in a combination of Microsoft Word and Photoshop. Would i have to upload each picture to the internet and do it that way? Or is there a way i can imbed the pictures into the newsletter? I am using this through a yahoo email address using a program that allows you to send emails with html content through emails that do not allow html, such as yahoo. I appreciate any help. Thanks in advanced. Hi Friends, I've created an html coded email signature for Outlook 2003 (old, i know) and need some help. I've inserted a few images and linked them back to my company's social media platforms. When I insert the html template into Outlook it places <> after each picture/icon that i inserted. Any suggestions on how to remove these?! i finally figured out how to remove the underline but now i'm stuck with <> and can't get it to go away! PLEASE HELP!!!

In other words, when the recepient alters the size of their preview/display panel in their email program (eg Outlook), the column widths/spacing and text size remains the same. Could anyone please advise as to how this is done? Thanks! Hi guys, Could you please help me in giving the code that takes data from the fields in HTML form and when submit button is clicked the mail has to go to the intended user through Microsoft office outlook.
