HTML in an E-Mail

[Aenslaed]

I'm trying to do a mailing list for some people I know and I have the html for the actual message completed in IE 5.5 compatible HTML. When I try to use outlook2k to send it using copy and paste of the source code, it remains source code. When I try to copy paste the webpage as it looks in IE 5.5, only the left most table image shows up and nothing else even though you can see the rest of the page in the source of the message.

Does anybody know exactly how you would go about doing something like this. Similar to things like the ign webcourier idea.

Actually, those strings you directed me to don't help. I had to ask the webmaster of www.gamesmania.com to tell me how to do so in outlook 2k.

If using outlook2k, go to Tools, options, mail format tab, change the first dropdown to HTML and then click on stationary picker and select the completed html page as the default stationary. Now when you make a new e-mail, it should work. So now your stationary is the html page and you can send it just like that. This doesn't work with AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, and pretty much any other http e-mail client. I am positive it works for other outlook products. I am however unsure if it works with eudora or pegasus.

yeah I know what you are talking about...but I get html mail in my hotmail account...but when I send it from my outlook2k to hotmail it doesnt work (has the HTML as an attachment)...that has been pretty irritating and I just started sending everything as text only...but I would like to know how to get it to show back up in my hotmail...It did work in my old version of outlook (and also it STILL works in outlook express)....strange...
