People of the List,

I would like to send a newsletter via email in HTML format to people in my
organisation, primarily as an internal marketing tool.

I have experimented with this in the past, but I am yet to find a technique
that works for all recipients.

I subscribe to a number of newsletters that are in HTML format, and in most
cases, the images, banner ads, etc, are actually on a web server somewhere.
This works fine if I am connected to the Internet at the time I read the
newsletter/email.  All the staff in my organisation can send and receive
emails (Microsoft Exchange Server backend, Outlook 2000 client), but not all
have Internet access.

My main question is this: is it possible to embed images into an HTML
message so that it doesn't matter whether the recipient has Internet access?
If it is possible, do I need any special software to accomplish this, or
will MS Outlook 2000 suffice?

Regards,

Paul Hobbs
