I'm trying to design e-mail stationary. I just want a custom border and maybe
a background fill to match my business letterhead. My email provider is Juno.

Can I and should I do this in Front Page?

Hi paulamarie,

Yes, you can, but it's tricky. For example, if your HTML page contains
images, they cannot be linked to a local location, such as your file system.
When the email arrives at the destination, the machine there will not have
the images on it, and they will not show up.

Outlook has the capability of creating HTML email with images that are
either referenced by an Internet URL or embedded in the email. However,
FrontPage cannot embed images in an HTML document, as that is not an email.
It can, however, use images that are linked to an Internet location.

In case you didn't know, an HTML document is pure text. It contains no
images. Instead, it contains HTML tags that identify the location (URL) of
the images to display in it. The client application then downloads the
images from that location, and puts them into the document displayed. An
HTML image tag looks like the following:

<img src="file://C:/images/image.jpg"> (local file system URL)
<img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif"> (Internet URL)

If you use Internet URLs to images that exist on a web site on the WWW, you
can create an HTML document using FrontPage, and then paste it into an
Outlook email message that you are composing.

Like I said, it's a little tricky. But I've done it before.
