HTML Email and layers

Hi,
I created an HTML file in Dreamweaver to be used for an
E-blast (html email). The html file has images and the text is in
two layers which sit on top of the images. It previews great in
Explorer, no problems.
When I go to put it into the email, it separates the layers
with the text and the rest of the html file. In other words, I see
the text first, formatted as it shouldbe and then below that is the
rest of the html file with the images. Does that make sense?
Any ideas what I can do to keep the layers where they should
be? I thought I had done this in the past but maybe not.
Thanks for any help!

Not so. If you are going to use positioning in an email, make
sure that the
styles are either inline, or in a stylesheet embedded between
<body> and
</body>.

Welcome to the forums
In your email list, press menu/blackberry button, Options>Email Settings. Under there, for each email address, set "enable html email" to "yes" and set "download images automatically" to "Yes".
See how that works for you.

HTML email and attachments don't work

I have programmed a simple PHP script to format a web page form response and send an email message as a report to my client as an HTML email, plain text alternate part, and with a small attachment. My client, using Apple Mail on OS X, only sees a plain text dump of the entire email message, headers and all. His mail client shows other people's messages of this sort properly. The hitch is that I can't figure this one out, because the same mails, when sent to other people, are perfect. They display properly in Windows email programs, and other people's Mac-based mail programs, and perfectly on any web mail interfaces I can find (e.g. Horde, etc). Does anybody have any suggestions as to what might be going on in this instance? (My customer has standard Apple Mail running in some recent flavor of Mac OS X).

There is probably something wrong with your message. Send one to me at info at etresoft dot com and I should be able to tell you what it is.

Possible bug with HTML emails and attachments from Mail.app

I'm trying to send an attachment with an HTML email from Mail.app and getting unexpected results. I've been messing around with the order that things get added to the new e-mail and it seems that I can have either an attachment or I can have HTML email, not both.
The code... (of course simplified)
tell application "Mail"
set new_message to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"A subject", sender:"[email protected]"}
tell new_message
set visible to true
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
tell content to make new attachment with properties {file name:alias "Path to your file as string"} at after the last paragraph
set html content to "<head><body>Some HTML here...</body></head>"
end tell
send new_message
end tell

The problem is that there is no such thing as HTML email.
Well, I wonder what I have been generating for over three years now. RTF ? Because it sure looks like HTML. I must agree that HTML is not documented or even mentionned in the Mail AS dictionnary, but it does work, though you must specify visible to false so that it does. Here's my sub:
tell application "Mail"
set DMF to default message format
set default message format to plain text
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject}
tell newMessage
set visible to false
set sender to theSender
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:Photographer, address:theAddress}
set html content to "<html><head><title>" & theSubject & "</title></head><body>" & "This is an automated response." & theSource & "Find your personnal planning on the web: " & thelink & "
</body></html>"
end tell
send newMessage
set default message format to DMF
end tell

HTML Emails and background images in Dreamweaver

Hello. I created a HTML email in Dreamweaver. The original design came out of Indesign and had very specific background art. I removed all the text out of the Indesign and created a jpg. I took this jpg in Photoship and sliced and optimized it. I imported this HTML into Dreamweaver. Here I need to add in all the text (which is variable). I was originally thinking that you can only place background images with CSS. But I was told that you should not use CSS for HTML emails. So instead I left all the background art as normal images inside of a table. At this point I need to add text over these images. They only way I could figure out to do it was to add a div tag right over the image and type into there. This seemed to work fine but when I tested it in some emails all the div tags with text showed up under the table with images. This needed to display over. What is the best way to handle this issue? Thank you in advance.
Melanie

Sorry, but you cannot layer text over images in emails. Simplify your design or make an image with text on it in Photoshop. Use absolute URLs to images on your web server. And give people who can't see graphics and HTML pages in their email client a link to the HTML page on your web server.

HTML Email and Graphic Signatures

I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death, but has anyone read anything about any plans for RIM offering the options to send HTML messages and images in the signature? Thus far, I haven't come across much.

HTML email and Microsoft Exchange

When I setup a Microsoft exchange account (server = m.hotmail.com), the email shows as text, not as HTML (as it should).
The same email shows correctly as HTML when I setup a Hotmail email account.
Is there a fix to this yet?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I tried using the POP3 but It will not send emails using this configuration. However, I receive emails perfectly. Or I got a wrong configuration....
Incoming POP server
pop3.live.com
Incoming POP mail port
995
Outgoing SMTP server
smtp.live.com
Outgoing SMTP port (primary)
25
I have tried the outgoing with 587 and SSL, TLS and same results. It shows error saying that I can receive but will not be able to send.
In the meantime, I deleted and using the m.hotmail.com configuration but hate to see the text. This is wifi!!! should be HTML.

Using Thunderbird/Firefox - since last upgrade, issues with HTML emails and opening PDF

Since last upgrade, it seems that I'm having 2 (maybe 3) problems:
1) emails have white/grey horizontal lines in the bottom half of the email's text or graphics
2) can't open pdf files - when I could without issue before upgrade
3) Adobe Reader - I've downloaded updates, but they won't install. (says not compatible with my computer, but running Mac OSX 10.6.8 (I even downloaded Opera brower to see if that would work, but there still seem to be Adobe issues)
Any thoughts?

I think you are correct, that was not a good idea.
Hopefully they all wound up in Home/Library/Fonts. You can safely delete everything in there, as OS X does not put anything in that folder. Fonts part of the OS are

I created an html email and when I test it all the email clients, a horizontal space gets added between tables. It only happens in gmail, hotmail and yahoo when using firefox. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

How to send a plain text and HTML email at once?

Hi all,
I'm attempting to use cfmailpart to send a HTML and plain text email all in the same cfmail script. I'm using Outlook and Gmail to test. I temporarily changed my Outlook settings to "read all standard mail in plain text," but it does not read the plain text cfmailpart of the email, it just attempts to format the text from the HTML email and display the links. If I remove the HTML cfmailpart from my cfmail script, the plain text version is delivered, but Outlook removes extra line breaks that I actually want to keep intact, and some of the other formatting is improperly rendered. Is there a better way to make sure email clients hold the plain text formatting (even though there really isn't any formatting with plain text) and a better way to test? The HTML version looks great in both Gmail and Outlook.
Thanks!

Use the wraptext attribute of the cfmailpart tag to add line breaks.

BusinessConnector pub.client.smtp and HTML email

Is there any way to send HTML email with the pub.client.smtp service of the Business Connector 4.7?
I haven't found a way to set the content type to "text/html".
As a consequence my mail-client doesn't recognize that it's getting an HTML email and simply displays the source code.

To asnwer my own question: It is possible to use the MIME stream parameter in pub.client.http. An example of how to create a MIME stream is in the WmSamples package.

How to send an HTML email?

Hey guys
For the longest time I've been wanting to send HTML emails with Mail, not for promotional stuff, but more for thanking our clients for their business. This is the perfect holiday season to send a Thank You email to them, but I don't want just to send a plain and boring text email, I want graphics on it. I know this wasn't possible to do with any previous OSX until Tiger. This is what the Mail page says... - HTML Message Composition - Mail uses the Safari engine to format newly composed email using HTML. I read another post about an HTML Script to work with mail but it got so confusing that I wasn't able to make it work. Can anybody tell how to make this work? A step-by-step tutorial would be great, not just for me but for all those Mail users that are trying to do the same thing. If Apple can send those HTML emails and Newsletters, why can't we? I don't think they're using a Windows computer or any other email software to do this. Better not! :P
This is the post I read, but it was posted a year ago, so I know there's got to be something more up to date.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=667497&ft=y&#667497
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello Luis.
Although RTF with Tiger Mail is basic HTML, you can't compose complex HTML within the body of a message.
You can use an HTML composer of choice to include embedded images/graphics and/or objects that are stored on a server (to be downloaded/rendered from the server) when the message is opened by recipients instead of attaching images/graphics to the message.
After saving the document, you can open the document with Safari to ensure the layout and settings are correct and at the menu bar, choose Edit > Mail Contents of This Page.
A new Mail.app message will open and the contents of the webpage will be copied to the message and it will be sent in its entirety.

1 px border not displaying in HTML email

Hi,
I created a HTML with a 1 px gray border. I opened it in Entourage and the border is not visible. Not sure why this is happening....
Thank you.

Designing HTML emails is a challenge because email clients differ so much in what they do and do not support. I don't know about Entourage specifically but Lotus Notes definitely doesn't support borders in HTML emails.
