Hi,

what do i have to do in order to send html emails with entourage 2004. So far I have set up an extra account for sending html-mails. Under options I added the header content-type text/html.
I created a html document in InDesign ( I know it is a bad way...but works for me) and get a html file and a *.jpg. I now want to be able to send this layout as a html-email. So I copied the sourcecode from the html file to the email (html formatting on):

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>XXX email news update</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>
<!-- ImageReady Slices (XXX email news update.ai) -->
<IMG SRC="XXX-email-news-update.jpg" WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=600 ALT="">
<!-- End ImageReady Slices -->
</BODY>
</HTML>

Then I changed the image link to
<IMG SRC="cid:XXX-email-news-update.jpg" in the source because I want to attach the image directly to the mail and not having it on a webpage.
When I now send the mail to myself I just get a blank document....what went wrong?
Thank you for your efforts.
 
Do you have "view html" turned on in your Entourage preferences? I think you would first have to write the code, paste it into an html enabled email, then have html viewing on in your Entourage so you can view it.

Are you trying to send out a graphic/html email? Not recommended because of the varying results you will receive. Anyone who has html turned off will not see your email.

In order to attach the image you have to attach it directly to the email. I don't think you can reference an image unless you give it the full directory/server name or you attach it in the "attachments" window in Entourage.

(I'm going to try a few things.)
