Hi
What should I beware of when I send a whole .html page with outlock express to customers?

My outlock express is in swedish but I will try to translate the steps I make.

First I make a .html file with text and images, via <img src="http://webpagesexampeladress.com/image.jpg">, so it won´t be any attached files in the e-mail.

Then I open outlock express and press "Create E-mail" > "Webbpage"
And then I write the adress in the field that comes up. For example http://webpagesexampeladress.com/news_mail_2012.html

Then outlock express creates a new e-mail with my .html file in the textarea.
It is now possible to edit with outlock express, like a plain text e-mail.

And now I write the adress to my customers and press SEND.

Is it correct to do like this? Have I forgott anything that will look monstrous in for example Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail?

The things I allready know is that there should be no extern .css and it is good to have a link in the bottom of the page(e-mail) that says "Does the page look monstrous, press this link to view it in your browser".

I will be very happy to hear your thoughts about this : )
