RE: E-mail Newsletters

Since each email client will display the results (of your HTML) differently,
depending on your settings, the content will look different in each 'body' of
the email. Some recipients may only get 'text', which defeats your efforts.
We use a free add-in from Microsoft for MS-Pub that will produce HTML
suitable to upload to MS-ListBuilder. We create a message for those that get
'text only' to request a PDF from us.
Using ListBuilder, we are able to manage the content, subscribers, and
distribution from a single point. No demands on our mail server, and no
maintenance of the subscriber lists. Plus, ListBuilder affords you a custom
survey for subscribers to indicate interests; from this you can do selective
mailings.
Others may know of an easy cut & paste solution, but in all our trial and
error we never found one. That's why we switched to using a mailing utility.
There are many to choose from; we liked the seamless approach with
MS-ListBuilder (it has its fair share of shortcomings we would like to see
them improve, but does the job).

That answers my question. I need to be saving my newsletter as an HTML file..
What I ended up doing was open the html file, select all, copy and then
pasted the content directly into the body of my email. It works.....however!
When I send a test email to myself to view it.....when the email comes into
my inbox it shows the paper clip symbol that there is a file attached (even
though the content is in the body of the email) I don't want it to do that. I
want the email to appear like a regular email with the newsletter in the
body....and no sign of an attachment. I am using Microsoft Outlook 2003. Is
there a different way to be getting the content into the body other than
copy/paste?.....or is it possible the paper clip is showing up because I am
using 2003.......

Keep in mind that each recipients' email client will display whatever you do
differently, no matter what you use to create it.
What we found works well for us is to create the eNewsletter in
MS-Publisher, then use MS-Listbuilder as a service (better than managing on a
mail server; allows easy subscription services, too) to distribute to a
distribution list. This creates a high-impact graphic newsletter with
hyperlinks back to content on our Web site.
We then take the eNewsletter from MS-Pub, save as a Web page, and push it
back up to the Web site as a link for others (non-subscribers) to view.

p.s. We link to the eNewsletter on our Web site from our blog, too.

I have created a newsletter in Word that contains text and graphics. When I
sent the the newsletter to email recipients by the File pulldown - then Send
To - Mail Recipient.....once the Email is received (I sent myself a
test).....it doesn't retain it's original resolution on the photos inserted
in the newsletter. All the graphics and photos are really grainy. Which
programs are the best to create electronic newsletters, and how do I send
them and maintain their resolution?
