Microsoft is killing e-marketing

And I say "hooray!"

 

[Free Outlook from Word]

In the B2B market, email marketing is the most cost effective means of
communicating new products and services, especially for start-up companies
that can't afford the massive costs associated with print & mailings.

You say "hooray", but you're unfortunately very misguided in your thinking.
You're obviously out of touch with the market and the needs of small
businesses today, thus why Microsoft products suffer from narrow-minded
decisions (such as removing functional CSS from email via Outlook 2010).
Outlook has taken a giant leap backwards in technology, and all Microsoft can
do is proclaim new functionality that no one uses. All other email platforms
get it, but Microsoft still chooses to live in the dark age.

Way to be ahead of the game... I'll be saying "hooray" when the folks
making these idiotic decisions are out of jobs.

You post here and speak as if you think that the MVP's work for Microsoft or
make Microsoft decisions. We don't. We're simply volunteers who have our own
jobs, and help because we like to and we are better at research than most
people.

Brian is probably thinking emarketing = spam (and it does sometimes).

I get a lot of advertising in outlook 2007 and it all looks fine to me. I
don't want fancy messages with form fields and other crap that belong on
webpages. I want simple, easy to read messages - messages I can read without
downloading pictures and external style sheets. Marriott's and iTunes were
probably the worst for overdoing it in email - Marriott's latest emails are
much more to my liking.

The most effective way to get your point across is to use straight-forward
English (or whatever language your target speaks) and avoid all the crap glitz
and glitter. If you can't express what you wish without all the clap-trap,
you need to be in another field. Besides, Microsoft has had white papers
published that explain just how to rewrite your HTML so that it looks good
either way.

Ah, but that's the point of "e-marketing": fluff the message without
adding any real content. It's the same stupidity embraced by Incredimal
users.

Do I want Outlook to use Word as its HTML composer? No. However, I
certainly would NOT want all the crap that Free Outlook <blah blah> user
wants us recipients to see.

We're supposed to care about an idiot that uses Word to compose web-
style pages that they expect every e-mail client to render as though it
were a web browser. Sure, uh huh. They already know that their
recipients will NOT visit their link in their e-mail to go fully render
their "message" in a web browser so they want to spew their junk inside
the e-mail. The result of their push is us users trying to figure out
how to eliminate all that crap, with some user deciding on a "**** 'em"
attitude and simply reading all e-mails in plain-text mode only.

If they cannot draw your attention and interest with words to then go
open their attachment or visit their web site, it is quite obvious that
you don't want to bother with anything in their e-mail.

Oh, I find it quite laughable that the OP's mention of B2B e-marketing
(business-to-business) somehow magically exempts his e-mails from being
spam. Amazing how they always try to find an excuse that their spam
isn't really spam, uh huh. Oh yeah, if you're at work and you get their
crap then it must not be spam, sure, uh huh.

Thanks for the heads up on just WHO is supporting this web site. We'll
be sure to avoid it and perhaps add it to various hosts files that block
spammy, spam-affiliated, or spam-sponsored web sites. Thanks again.
Have a nice day.

While using OUTLOOK 2010 and trying to use the 'phone' feature with my
Logitech headset I receive the follwing message
An internal error occurred in the automatic phone dialer. Close the Dial
Phone dialog box, then open it again

 

[Diane Poremsky [MVP]]

I doubt that has anything to do with Word as the editor. I'd start by
reinstalling the modem drivers.
