HTML Email Project

I am needing to create a polished html email and then be able to send it out via Outlook. Similar to sending a mail merge in publisher but much more polished and html friendly. Does anyone have any suggestions on what programs that Adobe offers might help with that or any suggestions on the best way to get this accomplished? I really appreciate the help!!

  • Html email - image won't load

    You guys are wonderful - when I've worked and worked on a problem and get to the "pulling out my hair" stage, I remember how helpful the forum has been to me . . .
    I have put Outlook 2007 on my computer now so I can easily test the quirks of email rendering in that email client.
    I'm attempting to test using slices for the nav bar (hopefully a work around for "wonderful" Outlook 2007) but can't get past an image that won't load. I recently combined three images and some text into one image because Outlook was floating the images and spacing them wrong.  The image that I'm referring to which now won't load is http://www.theshimogaproject.com/email/images/shimoga_pics_text.jpg
    The original design displays correctly in browsers:  http://www.theshimogaproject.com/email/riverrun-guests-email.html
    Here's the code for the html email as it stands now:

    Thank you for the validator links.  I used them and cleaned up the
    code.  However it is still hanging up at the shimoga_pics_text.jpg
    image.  Any other ideas.  The size of the image is 43KB.  Would that
    have anything to do with it?
    Here's the code as it is now:

  • Is there a video tutorial available on creating an html email with dreamweaver

    Is there a video tutorial available on making an html email with dreamweaver?

    Hello Warren,
    Currently we do not offer a video on this topic; all of our getting started videos currently available can be seen at: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/learn/start.html.  That's not to say a video such as the one you are looking for doesn't exist out in the wild somewhere, but we have not produced any content on that particular topic.
    However, we're just getting started (no pun intended ) so feedback like yours is valuable as we consider future topics to focus our getting started projects on.
    Thank you for your input.

  • Calendar Template for HTML Email

    I have a small business where I want to be able to email to customers a monthly calendar of events for announcing classes, training and special projects or projects. I need to find a 2010 calendar template that I can fill in special happenings and clip art to make it appealing and friendly, but also in the email format. Can anyone help me find anything I could use? Thanks!

  • URLRequest and navigateToURL to open email client but HTML email, not plain text???

    I want users to click a button that uses URLRequest and navigateToURL to open the user's default email client with email body pre-populated with HTML email.
    Even though I have tried to set the contentType property to one of the following, the HTML tags always display:
    application/xml
    application/html
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto: ?subject=Test Email&body=<h1>Test Body</h1>");request.contentType = "multipart/form-data";
    navigateToURL(request, "_self");
    BTW, the above code is simplified, so I am using escape() on the subject and body text, etc.
    So, is there any way to use mailto in this way to open the default email client and pre-populate with HTML email but not see the tags (BUT NOT REVERT TO PLAINTEXT)?

    >The problem there however is that very few people actually set this up... (default mail client)
    Jason, can I ask you: is it your assumption, or there is/was reliable polling showing that majority of users prefer manually go the mail server instead of using the mail client application of their choice - Outlook, FireBird, Mail, etc?
    Igor Borodin
    There are numerous reasons behind avoiding mailto links in relation to design. And it's been debated back and forth for years. Form vs Mailto link both have their pros and cons and intended usages.
    After panelling groups of individuals for three seperate projects regarding various design perspectives in the RIAs we developed, it became quickly apparent that on numerous occasions users clicking a mailto link were unaware of what the resulting screen was actually for. Several had never set up the default mail client on their pc. Many thought that "Yahoo" was the only email service in the world... Now, with that said, the target demographic for those applcations may or may not be what his, yours, or anyone's project may be. The key there is going to be identifying your dedmographic and determining the tech prowness. Also, what exactly is the email's intended result? Refer a friend style? Might be better handled through a web form due to the possiblity of being able to properly track how many referrals were actually made. How many resulted in a visitor. Simply notifying admin that there is a problem on the site? Might be better to fire off a mailto.
    Reliably sending a preformatted HTML email can only be guaranteed on the server side. Otherwise, you run into problems just like he is having here. Now, if the email is plain text, different story.
    Again, it all comes down to identifying your usage and properly utilizng the available tools.

  • Exclamation mark inserted into html email

    I use xslt to generate html emails. In the xsl file there is a html link. It looks like this:
    Decline
    When the email is sent (use MimeMessage class, before it is sent, these two methods get called: setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "binary"); setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=UTF-8");), an exclamation mark "!" is somehow inserted in the word "decline" (happens in both places - in the link - which makes the link not work - and the label). It does not always happen only once in a while.
    Your help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Changsheng,
    Are you using RedHat 7.2? If so, you may be encountering a bug in RedHat's PHP SMTP code (seems to be used when sendmail is called):

  • Why is my HTML email showing up wrong in different email account?

    I've seen this before and I think it has to do with CSS (which I realize isn't supposed to be in emails), but I'm super new to this and have scoured the internet to find out exactly what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it. It shows up properly in my Yahoo acccount, but not in my Gmail accounts (which initially threw it in Spam, if that has anything to do with it). I only know the very basics of HTML and CSS, but still have get this work done and I'm assuming someone will be able to view the code and see what my issue is pretty quick - I hope! It previews in browsers just fine, it's only when I'm click "Forward to a Friend" to send it to myself to test.
    See the HTML and screencaps of the difference in view below...

    Many mail clients reject images, JavaScript and embedded CSS styles.  For best results use plain text near the top to communicate your message and give a link to the actual web page on your server.
    For mail clients that do have limited support for HTML, use uncomplicated tables and inline CSS rules (inside the body tag).  
    All that meta data description is a red flag to spam filters.  You shouldn't be using meta description or keywords in e-mails.
    The article below has some good tips & resources for reliable e-mail templates you could use:

  • Help needed with creating HTML email in Dreamweaver

    Hi everyone, would really appreciate some help with a dilemma or two that I have.
    I have created the following newsletter in Dreamweaver and uploaded it to our website:
    http://www.nova-design.co.uk/sales/000030.html
    Now, when I go into my email mass mailing client (Handymailer) and send a test out, I encounter a couple of problems.
    Firstly, in Outlook when I receive the email, the grey table on the right of the eshot, is crushed and a lot of the single line text is forced to go over two lines...
    Secondly, in Hotmail, the table displays fine, but it does say that "This message is too wide to fit your screen.  Show full message."
    Once I click "Show full message" it displays in full, but I then need to scroll across to the middle of the browser to view the email.
    If I left align the newsletter will this problem be solved?  Or is there a way in Dreamweaver that I can edit the entire page size so that it's not too wide?
    The table is 600px wide so I assumed that any email sent out would shrink to this size.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  This is the first full HTML email I have sent out so it's going to be far from perfect!

    I need to look into using inline css styles, I have no idea how to so need to read up on those.
    I created a transparent GIF and placed it, but that moves my text down because the image is in the way?  Am I doing that right?
    Make the transparent gif 1px high.
    Is it the links in the right column that go onto two lines? If so that could be because the links are wider than the actual column itself..so you will have to make column wider.
    If you can't sort it, have  a look at the code below, copy and paste into a new Dreamweaver document and test out. Inline css styling is used in the code below. I've masked your email so no spam bots get hold of it.

  • 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.

  • When I forward an HTML email with embedded graphics to someone, it forwards it as plain text.. this is driving me batty.. how do I forward such mails INTACT??

    I have the latest Thunderbird installed on a new 64-bit Winblows Eight netbook.. fantastic program, but one problem is driving me absolutely batty, and after using the latest Thunderbird for weeks, I simply can't figure out how to fix it..
    I'm on a lot of mfr. and other kinds of mailing lists, like eBay watch list alerts, and so on.. these are not s p a m (although I get plenty of that.. who doesn't).. but lists I WANT to be on..
    Many such emails from those mailing lists are in HTML format with embedded graphics.. I'm not talking about graphic file attachments, but embedded graphics which are coming from the senders' servers, and appear AS a graphic in the email.. sometimes such emails are one huge graphic with hardly any text.. all well and good..
    However, here's the problem.. when I want to forward such an email to a friend, Thunderbird ALWAYS formats it as plain ASCII text.. I know this because I look in the "sent mail" folder, and can see that it has turned an HTML email with embedded graphics into plain ASCII text..
    I absolutely can't figure out how to get it to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT, so the sender receives it looking the way it looks when I receive it from a mailing list, or an advertiser, or eBay, or whoever..
    Is Thunderbird capable of forwarding an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT?.. If so, how / where do I turn on that capability?..
    If the capability to do this isn't built into the program, is there an add-on I can install that will give it that ability?..
    I am not new to computers.. but this really has me stumped.. I want to put Thunderbird on my 32-bit Vista laptop and stop using its horrible "Windoze Mail" program, which I've been using for years, and is slower than snot, and has all kinds of other problems..
    So, assuming whoever reads this FULLY understands my question, PLEASE tell me how to get Thunderbird to have the ability to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics AS-IS, so the receiver(s) I forward it to see it exactly the way I see it when I receive it.. if that ability is built in, please tell me how to turn it on.. if that ability is not built-in, please tell me what add-on I need to install to give Thunderbird this capability.. if Thunderbird absolutely can't forward an HTML email with embedded graphics at all, please also tell me that..
    A virtual box of candy and a dozen long-stemmed roses to anyone who can give me a solution that works..
    Thanks..

    Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
    Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
    I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
    I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
    Thanks again..
    Harv..

  • Possible to save HTML email as HTML?

    Is it possible to take an html email I've received and save it as html for easy conversion to a webpage? This is a weekly newsletter (someone else creates it) that gets emailed to people and then put up on the group's website (that I'm in charge of). I've been just saving it as plain text and having to reapply all the formatting once I get it into Dreamweaver, but it seems rather redundant. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

    I have a shareware program that should do what you want. I don't want to use Apple's discussion board to promote my own software though. Just do a search on "etresoft" and you should find it/me. Contact me via e-mail if you want more info.

  • HTML eMail no longer works after change from 8100 to 8310

    Hello all,
    I have a Pearl 8100, which I upgraded successfully to version 4.5. Then I could receive and read HTML eMail, very nice.
    Now I got a Curve 8310 which I also upgraded to 4.5 supporting HTML eMail. In BIS I changed the PIN and IMEI numbers and the new device was registered.
    Now when I set eMail format to HTML and receive an HTML eMail, it only shows some lines (in nice new HTML) or even nothing and a hint, that more data is available with the number of bytes left. If I select the "More" option on the device, a transfer of data starts, showing that the Curve receives more data. Then the More-Data-Hint shows that only still one byte more is available, but the message still looks the same, showing only the first lines or even nothing. Repeating getting more data does not help. Seems the device has some problem parsing the data.
    What I already tried:
    - Hard reset of the device
    - Delete all service books
    - Resend service books from BIS
    - Enable/Disable HTML mail on device
    None of them helped.
    Network is German Vodafone. Both devices (Pearl and Curve) run Vodafone software.
    By the way: If I switch to text mode, I can see the whole message, but of course unformatted in the old format. Switching back to HTML again shows only part of the message or nothing.
    Does anyone have an idea what happened? Or who can I ask? There is no support hotline for private people on blackberry site.
    Thanks in advance.
    Joerg.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can't delete the whole account, just the BIS email accounts.
    In this order, After deleting them, also delete the service books on your BB. 
    Reboot the BB, (battery out, replace and reboot).
    Look and confirm the SBs are gone.
    Now, reset up the email accounts in the BIS, and send the SBs again if needed.
    You should get new registration messages on the BB... and you might need to do a battery bpull reboot again.
    This process, in this order, will assure you get the NEW service books, rather than just writing over old ones.

  • How to send HTML email in Mail?

    Hello All,
    I would like to write an email in HTML, just copy and paste the HTML code into mail, and have it sent as HTML. How do I have mail do this? Thanks!

    You can't do that; or rather, you can, but it won't work. You can view you r HTML file in Safari, then use the 'Mail Contents of This Page' option and Safari will insert the rendered HTML. But if your recipient doesn't have their mail program setup to view HTML email, they won't see whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.

  • Sender Mail Adapter able to retrieve HTML emails?

    Hi there,
    I stamped over an issue that look like an adapter limitation, would like to hear you opinions.
    We´re using a POP3 account configured in a Sender Mail Communication Channel with XIPAYLOAD, with this attempts:
    - with or without the Mail Package;
    - any type of encoding;
    - must keep attachments.
    In all of this options always the retrieved email from the POP Server comes in TEXT format.
    Does the Mail Adapter support HTML emails?
    Does the Mail Adapter support mixed/alternative Content-Type?
    >Current version: SAP PI 7.0 SP14
    >Mail Server: Lotus Domino 7.0.x
    Regards,
    Marlo Simon.

    Ok,
    I´m using the Sender Mail Scenario.
    I tried the MessageTransformBean (Transform.ContentType) to force the Content-type to text/html and it made no difference.
    Is there any Advanced parameter that would help? No docummentation from SAP on those ones.
    I want to keep the original email body, but looks like the adapter only read plain text.
    Rgds,
    Marlo Simon.
