How do I send out email newsletters

T

TxWebdesigner

Does anyone have experience in this?

Or can someone help me understand how to send out an email newsletter that
is just 10KB but looks just like this:
http://www.eksuccess.com/newsletter.php?12877

I don't understand how the images appear in the email but the images are all
over 300KB combined but the email is only 10KB.

Can someone help me understand how to send out these kind of mass emails?

Thank you in advance!

I've just spent the last few hours reading through article after article and
from what I understand, there is no way to send an HTML email via Outlook
using mail merge. Is this an accurate statemenet?

Can you recommend a service that will allow this?

Thank you!

Office XP (Outlook/Word 2002) and later versions allow HTML mail merges. The
versions of Outlook and Word must be the same. See

The images tags in the html refer to remote files (e.g. <img
src="http://example.com/yourimage.gif"> Therefore the files themselves are
not included with the page.

Be aware that this is a v. common spammers trick - by using a unique image
url, they can validate that you have read their spam. Outlook can be set to
block downloaded images.

IMO, any sensible person will always read email in plain text only.

You might wish to try our email scheduler
(http://www.lbetoolbox.com/scheduleemail.htm) which will allow you to send
multiple individual emails, html or plain text, with attachments, either as
a one-off or regularly at a specified time and interval
