I have read through many of the posts without any luck.

I am trying to send an invitation via email as html content.

The html file has text and graphics, including a graphic (register button)
that is linked to a hyperlink (an external source).

I can get the file in the body of the email using the insert file/insert as
test method. However, when I test it by emailing it to myself, it seems as if
the entire body is a picture becuase when I click on the register button it
is not a hyperlink, the entire image is selected, like a picture.

Please help, I need to send the invitation to clients tomorrow 10/22.

Many thanks!

Outlook 2003 and earlier used Internet Explorer's HTML rendering to present
information. Outlook 2007 uses Word to render HTML and Word's capabilities
for that are a subset of what IE handles. Some HTML code sumply doesn't
work and, while I don't know positively that it's the case, I suspect that
what you're trying to do falls outside of Word's rendering ability.
Microsoft's web site contains documentation on what works and what doesn't.
Obtain the Outlook 2007 Email Editor white paper here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...CL100626971033
It contains links to explanations of what Word will render.
