Hi Justern,

I don't know if you write your own HTML code or if you leave that to
Outlook. If you want more control it's better to write your own HTML
code. For example, if you want some text with the font Arial 12, then
you use this code

<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; color: black">Lorem
ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.</p>

If you use Outlook to send HTML emails, you can format your text, make
it bold, create a link, insert an image. That's fun and all, but it not
compatible with the webmail clients like Hotmail and Gmail. Also you
don't have a lot of control of what your HTML email looks like. If you
write your own HTML code (actually see it as a small website) then you
have more control.

Unfortunately Outlook doens't let you enter your own HTML code. This is
possible in Thunderbird (http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/).


For example, start notepad and copy/paste this text in notepad:
<h1>Headline</h1>
<p><strong>This is a test</strong></p>
<p>This is another test</p>

Then go to file > save as ...
and choose a name, for example, test.html

Open up your Internet Explorer.
File > Send > Page via email ...
Then you see the page in HTML in Outlook. Now you can send it.

But if you want more flexibility, I recommend using Thunderbird or
HotCast.
