Not sure if this is the right group or even a valid question but here goes.
I'm wanting to send an email with upcomming events. Pictures, links, and so
on, like a web page basically. Is there a way to accomplish this. Thanks in
advance!!!
 
"HTML Email" is what you're asking about and I suppose they can be quite
effective but there are disadvantages.

Disadvantages:

- User may not allow HTML email in their mail client
- Mail client may not support HTML messages at all
- Mail message may not have the objects such as images embedded in the
message - they may require 'absolute' links with images and so on hosted on
a web server.

Alternative solutions:

Create a web site of the newsletter and send the readers a link to the site.

-- OR --

Create a newsletter in MS Publisher, convert to PDF and sent it as an
attachment to your readers.

-- OR --

If you really wish to, you can of course use FP to create the newsletter,
and copy/paste into a email message but considering the above disadvantages,
you might have unexpected results as an email program is not a web browser
and may not render HTML code properly, or may only support the most basic
HTML markup tags.


This group is really for those interested in FrontPage for creating
websites; if you use the product, feel free to post relevant questions, but
in this case, you might find more answers specific to HTML emails on the
various 'email' type newsgroups or forums.

Good Luck.
