Hi everyone, I'm stumped here. A client's asked me if I could creat an html email for her, but when I try to follow the instructions on how to do it, Outlook Express crashes on me with a MSIMN.exe error.
This is the instructions I was following: (it crashes at #5 when I try to insert text from file.) Any help would be greatly appreciated! Alida 1. Open your favorite html editor ie FrontPage 2000, Dreamweaver 4 or MX (you can also use MS Word 97 or 2000 but it tends to bloat the code a little) to create your email. 2. Always use absolute URLS for your graphics (ie http://www.ihost-websites.com/images/header.gif ) 3. Graphics (ie images, icons, fancy fonts) must be stored on a web server to correctly appear in email software - you could save it as an attachment, however most folks will not open the attachment especially (and delete it) if it's from someone they don't know. If you don't want to use graphics, you can use colored tables for different sections (ie header, masthead, contact information and footers). 4. Name and save the page you have created (ie htmlemail.htm). 5. Open your Email Software - in outlook express (since it's the most popular) go to create mail - insert - text from file - scroll to your saved html page. You are now ready to send your html email. 6. Email a test to yourself before your send it to your subscriber list. You may want to send it to your friends who have different email programs so you can be sure most of your subscribers can read it on their computers. ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
