Hello Everyone:

I have a client that wants to send out html emails where the recipient email client 
software will display an html page in the body of the email. I've explained to him 
that not all email software will display html, but he feels that his target group will be 
able to see the html without problems....If not, he wants them to be able to get a text 
page instead.

I have searched the hwg-basic archives for "html+email" and only found one post 
but it contained no replies. I have spent all day yesterday searching on the web for 
information, but none seemed to be what I am looking for (a free solution to creating 
and distributing html emails -- that works). 

My tools: (*preferred)

- Windows 98SE based computer system, 512 MB Memory
- *Various HTML editors - or I even hand code
- *Pegasus Email 4.0, Eudora Email 5.1, Yahoo Email
- Word Processors: *Word, WordPerfect, Notepad
- ISP service with SMTP that supports all formats and MIME

I get these emails all the time and I have tried to rip them apart to get clues just how 
to do it, but it seems somewhere, somehow, I can't seem to get it to work for me. 
Must be that time of the year when my brain ceases to function. 

 Any help or comments would be appreciated! Step-by-step directions would be 
cause for me to bow down and worship you! Thanks!
