I'm interested in an answer on this one, too. However, I've had much better
luck using Outlook on a PC to load the URL of my remote files then simply
SEND as usual.

On a Mac, I had a 2 or 3 scripts in Entourage (I believe one was named "Send
using complex HTML") that worked fine. However, all the graphics showed as
attachments even though they were on a remote server. If that's not an issue
for you, then search the Web for those type of Entourage scripts with some
text similar to "entourage html script."

Good luck and let me know if you find something that works.

Sending the URL always works.

There are two scripts that will help do this. Look under the topic HTML on
this page:

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/script/fav_scripts.html>

Have you considered posting it online and sending the link? Another option
is to create a .pdf. Give your users the option. Check out ATPM to see how
they handle this option. <http://www.atpm.com/subscribe/>

Haha, perhaps I should have been more clear. I didn't mean to imply that the
end user would only have to click on a hyperlink in the email to be viewed
in a browser.

Specifically, PC Outlook has a web address dialog box that parses an URL as
a browser would; once the web page is loaded in Outlook, then I was able to
use the "send as an web page" command (or something similar to that
verbage). This worked great for my HTML newsletter layouts. And Apple Mail
does a beautiful job as well. Entourage not so much for me...

Entourage does not handle complex HTML. If you try that command in Safari,
you'll get this error message:

"Safari can't create an email message because Microsoft Entourage doesn't
support sending web pages from Safari"

I'd use Apple Mail for this task. Entourage renders web pages very poorly.
You can copy & paste from Safari to Entorage and you will get better results
than doing the same task with FireFox which pastes the web page in plain
text.

The Bible Way to Salvation is to realize that no one is good,(Rm 3:10) you
are a sinner, (Rm 3:23) God has a price on sin, (Rm 6:23) and that price is
death in Hell forever (Isa 33:14). But you can be saved by believing that
Christ died for you, (Rm 5:8) and you must call upon his name and ask for
forgiveness (Rm 10:9-13). Will you call upon him today?

--Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. Please come into my heart and save
my soul from Hell. I'm trusting You, and You alone, to take me to Heaven
when I die. Thank you for saving me, Jesus. In your matchless name Amen.--
