How to create an email to send in a mailining list

[Guest]

Hi,

I am using Outlook 2003. I was wondering how to create a small email to send
to a mailing list. The email with have two jpgs and the rest is text. I
receive these types of marketing emails all the time however I do not know if
it is a software program that is used to specifically creating the email or
if its done in a prgram to create webpages, then it is saved and imported
into the email.

I saw a few software types on the internet but I don't want to pay a fee to
use there system, I would like to just buy it outright.

Thanks,
Greg

You can create an email such as you describe if you use Word as your editor.
Then use mail merge to send it out to your mailing list. Alternatively, 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. If you want to send html email, you just need to create the
message body as a html page.

I cannot figure out why when I use either an htm or doc in work for my
message, after completing the mail merge the final product looks like
absolute crap meaning the page, text, picture is all off center and put in
areas that I can't understand why they would be there on a page. Is ther a
way to snapshot the final product to be emailed so it does not change once it
is emailed?

I suspect you are using e.g. Word or Publisher to produce your html page.
Both of which are v. poor tools for doing so, filling the page with masses
of bloat. Get yourself a simple html page editor and start with a basic page
containing some pictures, tables and text. Experiment to find out what
content you are trying to send causes the formatting errors.
