how to send an email in HTML format Solved

Question

Hello,
how to send an HTML email, I mean that the person who opens it receives an HTML page like newsletters but simpler to start, how can I do that? And is it feasible without having a website or a free space?
Thanks in advance.

A priori, the best approach is to send the message in HTML, but be sure to specify at the top of the message a link to view the page online as well, something like, "if you cannot view this message properly, click here." "Here" being the same HTML page online (if you have hosting space).

To simply send the page in HTML:
- with Outlook Express, take the HTML page (created with Dreamweaver, Compozer, FrontPage or whatever you prefer), and set it as stationery
- another method, with Internet Explorer: display your HTML page in IE, then file > send > page by email, it will open the email software set as default.
It works well with Outlook and retains the characteristics of the page.
I don't know from which version of IE this is possible.

Well, the rendering will always depend on what the recipient of the email is using, it's even more unpredictable than with web pages, I believe.

Hello,  this question is poorly phrased because you don't specify what your messaging program is, so it's difficult for me to tell you how to perform this action...

To generate HTML, I use Dreamweaver. My problem is how to use the generated code so that the recipient of the message receives an HTML page when opening the message. Dreamweaver is not an email program, right?
Which email program do you recommend, and how should I use it to achieve my goals? Thank you.

petit_apprenti · Answer

What I mean by "how to use it to achieve my goals" is: for example, I write the HTML code of the famous HelloWorld example :) which is as follows: Hello World!

Hello World!

and I send the message, the recipient receives the HTML code above and not the HTML page whose code is above (the HTML page is not interpreted by the browser) knowing that I use Windows Live Mail, how can I use it to send my message in such a way that when the recipient opens it, they will see the HTML page produced by the code and not the code itself?

alixo · Answer

interesting question!
for the moment, I am using outlook express, there is a small arrow next to the create button > select the file 'tonfichier.htm' as stationery.
Then, in the view menu > edit source, in the source tab, you can see the html code, in the normal tab you can see the email.

But this method only satisfies me to a certain extent (it's for sending a newsletter), if anyone has another method, thank you in advance!

mmu_man · Answer

The email is meant to send emails, not HTML. Even if it's not a rule listed in Netiquette, it's good to know that not everyone uses a client that can read HTML directly; they will receive an empty email with an HTML attachment that they will have to open in a browser before being able to read the useful data. This should be prescribed in the RFC that documents email. Anyway, an email is meant to convey information, which is text, not fonts or colors, and it is much more interesting to spend time proofreading than to change the font size. Moreover, sending HTML multiplies the size of an email, which is supposed to remain short. cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette  Newsletters that send HTML (often without a plain text option) do this in violation of this principle and are not examples to follow.

Thank you for this advice SOSO,

But I admit, I think I'm going to turn to a paid solution (initially I didn't want to because I only have about thirty newsletters to send and on a semi-annual basis.

But anyway, it's not working:

- I've created a clean and lightweight HTML page
- it integrates perfectly into my Outlook message
- I've made sure it's readable and pleasant even if the recipient's inbox doesn't account for the 'formatting and design'
- I've uploaded an online version for the famous "if you can't read this message"
- Finally, when I send it, Outlook tells me the message has been sent

then nothing.... nothing on my hosting provider's webmail and nothing in the recipient inboxes

I've tried several recipient inboxes (Yahoo, Gmail, Free, accounts hosted at OVH)
I've also used several email clients (Outlook, Outlook Express, and Thunderbird)
I've tried sending from different accounts (Free and OVH)

I imagine it's a configuration problem or something... I don't know anymore

I'm posting this in case a kind contributor has THE ILLUMINATION.

I am able to send my newsletters, possibly animated and with interactive areas (when you click on certain parts of the image, you are redirected to such and such web page) using the Windows Live Mail email software:

- I prepare my page in Adobe Fireworks: a background image or an animation on which I add interactive zones
- I save it in PNG format
- then I go to "file/view in browser"
- my page then displays in your default browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc...)
- I select the entire image (CTRL+A), then copy, then paste directly into my email. Note: do not use keyboard shortcuts to copy, it doesn't work for me, it's better to right-click and then copy.
- I send my email and it works, the recipients do not see any attached files but simply the image.

EFFECTIVE SOLUTION I also looked for a solution and thanks to MYWEN it works and we can do even better.  Software: Windows Live Mail, Firefox, Photoshop CS3  1_ Create your image in Photoshop CS3, with a slice 2_ go to "File" "Save for Web" 3_ at the bottom of the "Save for Web" window, you can choose a browser to admire the result, select Firefox if it’s not already been done and click on it. 4_ the image and some code will appear in a Firefox page, select the image and copy it into your email 5_ you can format an email with lots of interactive images this way. 6_ once your email is finished, press ALT in the email window to display the basic actions "File, Edit, View, etc..." and click "Save As" to save it in .eml format, which will create a small white envelope where you choose to save.  You can now simply double-clicking on the envelope to reopen the email containing all the images with all the actions, and continue to add anything following the same procedure.  It's really great for creating newsletters full of interactive images with links, etc...  There you go, and thanks again to MYWEN.

My solution would be to create a web page with its associated CSS, JavaScript scripts, and everything.
Save it all on your web server.
And when sending the email with Thunderbird: choose to attach the HTML file. Enter the HTTP address.
Specify the link "if you have difficulties reading this email."

This way, the recipient receives an email without images and can choose to download them if they want to view the message properly.

This has the advantage of using the same style sheets as your website, thus respecting your graphic charter, and images are not attached to the email (making it lighter).

Best wishes.

Hi everyone,

I find these explanations quite complicated.

To send emails in HTML format, I used a software, Mailpro, it's not free (but not too expensive) and at least I didn't have to deal with too many technical considerations.

There you go, I hope I helped :)

Good luck!

In Hotmail, when you click on New, then click on Rich Text at the top of your page and simply select HTML mode, once that is done, create the HTML code you want.

Hello everyone,

To keep it simple:
1. When you go to create a new message in your inbox, you'll find an option to create an email in HTML
e.g., Yahoo => new email => to the right of the box there's: toggle between plain text and rich text
plain text vs rich text in English.
2. To create a simple HTML page, go to a web page and click on (ctrl+u) to view the source code; just copy all the code and paste it into the new message with the rich text option enabled.

I believe that sometimes we need to answer simple questions with simple and direct answers and avoid filling forums with comments instead of answers because personally, every time I search for something on a forum, I have to read through pages before finding the right answer; there's too much unnecessary chatter. And what if we adopted an economy of useless posts???? Thanks everyone.

...'2. to create a simple HTML page, go to a web page and click on (ctrl+u) to display the source code, then just copy all the code and paste it into the new message with the rich text option enabled.  And that's how you end up with a white square instead of an image ...  Be careful when copying the HTML code, you copy all the URLs of websites, mailboxes, and images......  As you say in the forums "there's too much pointless chatter"  @+ pasthou
