HTML in email query

[Luke]

I've managed to create a simple newsletter style email message by pasting HTML into Outlook for Windows using the "source" tab.

It renders perfectly in the different mail clients I've tried, but with one problem: the images which are referenced in the HTML also end up attached to the email message which kind of defeats the purpose.

All the images are referenced by their universal addresses, which are up on our server.

Interestingly, there's also a CSS doc referenced by the HTML in the same way, but it doesn't end up attached to the message.

Any ideas much appreciated. Many thanks.

It's an outlook thing. Go into options and then the send tab, click html settings and uncheck the "send pictures with message" checkbox.

That should do the trick. :)

Great, thanks very much.

I'm not so used to the in and outs of Outlook for windows -- I'm a mac user, but no mac mail client I've found allows you to do this sort of thing. Does anyone know what sort of mail clients don't accept this type of email and how the message source should be structured to allow for them?

Don't accept this type of email? Huh? You mean html? All modern clients accept html although some users may turn it off being at work, etc. The single email is usually sent in 2 formats...plain text and html. If the default html is turned off, the plain text is displayed.
