I am wondering what the best way to send an HTML formatted email is. I have a promotion getting ready to start and I want to send it to a few prospects. It is pretty straight forward, but has a few table background images and I was going to use a little bit of CSS to format the text.

I mostly use plain text when sending emails and the only times I have used HTML emails with images and the like is when sending form results from a website to make things look a little better. To do this, I used an ASP script to compose the email and the HTML and send it from the server.

Is that what I am going to have to do in this case as well? I tried Select All on the page that I made and pasting it into an email in Outlook Express, but the table background images didn't copy over. I have not tried it in Outlook yet, though.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You have to upload all images to web server and use absolute path to them.

Thanks, that seemed to help. I knew that I'd have to do that before I sent it out, I just didn't do it when testing at the 'half way point'.

Thanks again for your response!
