Could anyone give me some information about how to create an email that has an HTML page embedded in it (like the one shown below)? My company has a mailing list of clients that we often send mass e-mails and we want to make a newsletter that would look more professional. Links to helpful information (or if you can just plain walk me through it) would be much appreciated.
Thanks

What those articles don't mention is that if you don't send multipart mime email , users who have their preferences set to not display HTML email will not see anything.

Gmail and SquirrelMail don't display images or HTML by default either.

And some junkmail filters flag HTML-only email as being more likely to be spam.

Thanks for all the tips. We realized going into this that several email programs would block it out, but we have a relatively short mailing list and we could walk our clients through if they have problems. Thank you again the information is really helpful. I will post again as we devlop this if we have further problems.
