Emailing Frontpage Websites

[Vilslaus]

Hi,

I'm trying to generate an Email-Newsletter (HTML-Format) with Frontpage. The
Newsletter includes some internal links (a table of contents linking to
different topics) as well as some images.
When I tried to the newsletter via "file-> send", it opened in outlook. The
internal links still worked, but the images are gone.
So I tried a different approach - I copied the content of the page ("select
all", "copy") and pasted it into an empty outlook-email. This time, the
images were included, but the internal links did not work any more (when
clicking on a link, it will open the email in a webbrowser instead of jumping
to the correct position in the email within outlook).
anyone who can tell me how i can get both things to work correctly? i don't
want to re-paste the images in outlook everytime i send the email. i'd prefer
to edit the whole newsletter in frontpage and then just send it...

How would that help? This would only work if I placed my images on some
webserver, right? I would like to send the images in-line (as attachments) in
the email. Except for 2 images that are the same everytime, all the other
images change on a weekly basis. So I don't really want to put them on a
webserver but would prefer to send them along.
Anyway, Frontpage automatically uses relative links, so I would have to
change the path manually everytime I add a picture, right?

Hi
You are trying to make an html tool designed to be published to the web into
an emailing tool. If you want to send this way you would be better off
creating the page in outlook.
The way I usually do it is to create a page in frontpage make all the links
absolute publish it to the server, open the page in internet explorer and
then click file send page by email the page then opens in outlook in the
preview pane, send as usual. I usually only send the emails in batches of
twenty addresses as some servers reject sending more at one time.
Or you could do a search for a newsletter script in your servers script
processing language (asp,php) in google.

Or you could install a newsletter program onto your PC such as

Well... yes, I am kinda trying to use Frontpage as an emailing-tool.
Frontpage is a HTML-editor, so it should be possible to create HTML-emails,
right? I don't really need a mass-emailing tool for that (and no problems
with spamfilters on my side, that's all sorted out). Or at least that's what
I thought. What I want to create is a html-formatted Newsletter with an easy
way to modify its content (and possibly without installation of any extra
software). Using Outlook would be ok if it really worked all right. But
adding rows to tables in Outlook-Emails is pretty hard, as well as creating
internal links or any other html-related features.

Your approach of sending the page out of the browser is not really what I
want eiterh, as it is sent as an attachment and not in an easily readable
form. I really just want the email to be html-formatted and contain my
newsletter's contnent - including images and links.

Anyway, as I could not figure out how this works correctly with Frontpage,
at least I found a working solution for me. I opened my
Newsletter.html-Document in Word and used "File->Send" to send the email. In
contrary to Frontpage, this time the pictures AND the links work allright.

Thanks for your help... and if you figure out how to do this in Frontpage
without the word-workaround, let me know ;-)
