Help with Outlook question

I am trying to create an e-mail using html so that the message displays as a web page but I can't seem to get it to work. The e-mail shows up as my html text only. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

🙂
 
Tools | Options | Mail Format
Click the Message Format tab
In the drop menu for "Send in this message format" choose HTML
 
I have the Format set to HTML yet it refuses to work for me. I thought maybe it was something with my software so I tried to do it from another computer through a different e-mail address but still no go.

I am thinking it might be something with my HTML source, yet it works when viewed in a browser so I really have no idea.

 
It sounds like you are typing the HTML code directly into the body of the message.

I'm not 100% certain if my suggestion will accomplish what you want to do but I suggest you create the HTML formatted text in one program such as Word, save as HTML, then copy the HTML formatted text to the Clipboard, then paste it into the body of the message window using Edit | Paste Special. I don't have time to try the suggestion since I'm off to work soon but I remember using Edit | Paste Special for something similar a few months ago. I believe I assisted a co-worker with inserting an Excel spreadsheet into a message.

Perhaps someone on Anandtech with more experience with the Outlook application will share some knowledge with us.
