How do you compose an email with graphics?

by **mannix** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 1:45 pm

I am trying to put graphics and links in my email much like one would see in a newsletter from ITUNES or a bank. Do I need special software or do current email software programs like Netscape, IE or Safari do the job? I believe style sheets and HTML are involved. Am I close?

A "rich" email (with graphics and backgrounds) is essentially a web page, made of HTML and optionally CSS. If you use CSS, you'll want to put the styles "inline" or some email programs will strip them out.

How you'll go about creating the design of the email will vary based on where you're sending the email from. Most newsletters are sent using a service like Constant Contact, not from Outlook or the like. Constant Contact offers a free trial, which might be useful.

If you want to put smileys and animations in your e-mail you can download a program called smiley central. Here is a link:

And if you want to create links all you should have to do is put in http://www. and the rest of the address. It should create a link autimaticlly.
