Thanks guys n girls

With the exception of GMail, style rules are permitted in the head element, see.
Hover effects are not supported in Outlook 2007/2010, Gmail, iOS or Android. You may still want to include the a:hover style for all supporting clients: Outlook 2000/2003, Hotmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo! mail ...see

HTML email design question

First off, I know about all of the pitfalls of using html in email, but this job requires it. My issue is that I'm using inline styles as is necessary in today's Microsoft-destroyed email environment, and I need to modify the spacing between paragraphs. The big problem is that Hotmail does not support the margin tag and Outlook 2007 doesn't support the padding tag at paragraph level. If I use both then every other email client adds double spacing. Does anyone know a way around this?

I suppose you could use double carriage returns between paragraphs.
<p>some text here</p>
<p> </p>
<p>some more text here</p>
Or you might try using style="text-indent: 45px" to indent the first line of your paragraphs.

Cross Platform HTML Email Questions

Hi,
I am creating new html emails from within dreamweaver for use in a service like constant contact. The service I use is COMF5. They have a rudimentary (but nice) WSYIWYG editor so I am giving it a whirl in Dreamweaver.
I first made the mistake of creating a beautiful file in CSS, pasted it in the editor and found divs and info floating all over the place.
I just found an article by an adobe pro on doing this and ZOMG, what a huge help. Here is what I think I underatand and my question:
1. Everything is tables, inclding the background which is created at 98%.
2. The body is to be nested tables.
3. Attributes are to be defined within the table by use of the property bar and not to include creating css rules.
4. The one exception is inline styles created within the boundaries of the table.
5. Important rule is to not have CSS sitting at top of code in document.
My big question at present is, how can I code links to be other than blue and underlined? I would use CSS to do that on my pages.
Thanks ain advance for further insight!

I'll second what Joey said. Everything inline with email clients. They are too unreliable, especially with Outlook. Constant Contact though can be a pain in that you can't just add links to the email if you want them to be tracked. Search their documentation for the "SimpleURLProperty" tag that they use. If you do not include this, and the code they leave for you in the code view when you import your own code, none of their tracking features will work. And this goes for images as well as text links. Lots of conditions when sending through Constant Contact if tracking is a key. One of the key reasons I have used other services for awhile now.

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.

Screencap from DW:
So, is it CSS causing this? Are the Tables setup incorrectly? Something not Inline? Not enough info for you? Gmail HATES ME?!
I'm just not seeing it and need to put the question out there while I continue to search for an anwer. Please respond!
Thanks!

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.

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..

Upgrade to 4.5 device software on Telus Pearl 8130: HTML Email viewer doesn't work

I just upgraded the software on my Telus Mobility (Canada) BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (from 4.3).
One of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade was to take advantage of the HTML email viewer (yeah! finally!).
My installation went fine, and the View Messages in HTML option is enabled (was by default, have verified it again).
On my first test email that I sent to myself from my Yahoo account to my default ISP email account, here's what happened. The Yahoo email uses a very simple "stationery" as background, consisting of two small graphic files, one in the upper left and one in the lower right. In between those two graphics is the text you wish to write. So I put the words "test test" in the text portion and sent it to myself.
When the email was received on the Pearl, indeed I saw the two graphics. However, the text was not displayed.
That was the first attempt. The second attempt produced no graphics at all.
I also tried sending myself an email using some formatting, like bold fonts, different text colors, underline and one jpg file. None of the formatting came through, and the jpg came through as an attachment (instead of in the the body of the email where it was placed). When I tried to open the jpg, by clicking on "1 Attachment", I got an error stating that it is an unrecognized file type and cannot be opened.
So it appears that the upgrade took 1 step forward and 3 backwards.
Anyone experience this, and if so, is there a fix, either now or in the works? Does RIM Support read these forums?
Telus Tech Support said that something is being done but they weren't too specific.
I have another upgrade-related question regarding Documents to Go, but I'll post that in a separate thread.

hello,
about your Bluetooth problem, I suggest you one a new discussion on the decicated board called "BlackBerry Accessories". ou will find there experts about Bluetooth.
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board?board.id=accessories
about the third point : it usually takes a long time for the device to emerge after a battery pull. It's quite common, you can't do anything about it.
about the second point. In my opinion there at least one picture that is corrupted (or one index file).
in the folder containing that image, do you have many images ? Let's call that folder A.
I suggest you to move them one by one into another folder B, then scroll through the folder A.
it will certainly reset a few times, until at one point it wont' freeze, meaning the folder A does not contain the corrupted image anymore.
you then know that the last image moved from A to B is the culprit.
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

Mail messes up html emails when the international panel set to "french"

This is a fairly specific problem, under my normal settings everything works fine. I receive emails on a weekly basis from this sender who sends them with quite a bit of html encoding. Images, fancy formatting, tables, etc. Normally, they display just fine.
However, I recently decided to switch my system language (on the international panel) to french instead of English. I have not changed any other settings, in the system or in Mail.
With the setting in the international panel set with French first, mail suddenly displays these emails suddenly turn to gibberish: They lose almost all formatting, most of the images disappear, text gets superimposed and piled up near the top of the email, etc.
Thus my two questions: Firstly, why would the setting in the international panel be affecting the content of an html email. Secondly, how can it be set to not affect said content.
I already looked through the coding for the email, and to the best I can tell, it has no encoding specifying a display language or alternate language encoding or anything of that sort.
Thanks!

With the setting in the international panel set with French first, mail suddenly displays these emails suddenly turn to gibberish: They lose almost all formatting, most of the images disappear, text gets superimposed and piled up near the top of the email, etc.
Hmmm, I'd copy that text & paste into Text Edit document, then wirth it all highlighted try changing to several different fonts to see if the gibberish goes away.
I'm thinking it's a font issue, but not certain of course.
Maybe post a sample of the gibberish here for me to look at?

I'm having trouble creating an html email that works accross
all email clients. Right now I'm testing on a Macbook and my email

to put that code.

MS SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow Email - Enhanced Rich Text Field look-up values on HTML email have large spaces

MS InfoPath 2010 form with RTF (Rich Text Fields)
MS SharePoint 2010 Custom Library
MS SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow Send Email
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/send-e-mail-in-a-workflow-HA010239042.aspx
https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/pages/creating-html-emails-with-spd-workflows.aspx
Hi all of the above work, our question is how to control the RTF (Rich Text Field) look up values to the InfoPath 2010 form in the HTML email?
How to FORMAT the RTF look up value? in the HTML email
EXAMPLE
we have a InfoPath 2010 form published in the SharePoint 2010 custom list library there are 5 RTF fields (Notes1, Notes2, Notes3, Notes4, Notes5) there are other plain text fields, date fields, and other field types in the form
We use a HTML table to make the email look like the InfoPath form, so when the users fill out the form and they get the email notification everything looks the same.
Our problem is the EXTRA LINE SPACE in the RTF look up values
We want to remove any leading spaces, and line spaces between HTML table cells
Our Workflow has the HTML in a Workflow variable, as you know it does not support remote CSS it has to be in-line style for any formatting we want all cells to have
valign="top" the email should align at the top of the cell, all field types do except the RTF look up values they make the email look bad and they contain a lot of white space.
Please test this in your enviroment
<table>
<tr><td>Title:</td><td>[%Current Item:Title%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes1%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Created by:</td><td>[%Current Item:CreatedBy%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes2%]</td></tr>

Hi IssackB,
perhaps you may try this article:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f8fa2a11-9f74-4dd2-b277-21ce872fdcb2/can-we-add-rich-text-editor-to-the-sharepoint-designer-2010-workflow?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
there are some notes that perhaps you may check:
Use the same font for all the controls to ensure consistent spacing between rows.
Choose Size from the Format menu, and then choose To Fit from the menu that appears. This adjusts the size of each control, depending on the font set for the data that appears
in the control.
NOTE: The Print Preview and Output To commands use different algorithms for calculating text width; therefore, the text may occupy more or less
space in the RTF file.
Reduce the amount of blank space above and below the report controls. Any vertical
space between the controls is converted to whole lines
in the RTF file. For example, a
space of .02 inches can increase to .1667 inches in the
RTF file.
Make sure controls on the same output row are not too close to each other or overlapping. This can cause the Output To command to omit the controls or to align the columns incorrectly
in the RTF file.
Use the Align command from the Format menu to ensure that a row of controls is aligned properly on the report. If a row of controls is not aligned properly, the Output To command may place the controls
in different rows, causing extra blank
spacein the RTF file.
and please have a check there are updates for exchange 2013 and will be available with the upcoming release of CU4 for Exchange 2013, that stated the format rtf was saved instead HTML. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2862739/en-us

Sending Unicode HTML email from Oracle

Dear All,
How we can send the HTML email from Oracle in Unicode format (I am using Arabic Language, to be specific). So far I have tried the following solutions (using utl_smpt) without any success (either i see junk characters in the email or see question marks). Would you please help me in solving this?

I worked with Oracle support and was able to find solution. The helping document ids were: 752309.1 & 404389.1

Generate HTML emails for MSN/Yahoo/etc??

Is there a program out there that will generate the HTML code
that can be
used for HTML emails sent to Yahoo/MSN and others??
Does anyone use anything like this?

CF in an HTML email?
Nuh uh....

HTML email in Lotus Notes 4.6.7

Sorry if this question has been asked before. A quick search found quite a few Lotus Notes related topics, but nothing specific to my problem.
I have an HTML email which looks fine in Microsoft Outlook, but which looks hideous in Lotus Notes 4.6.7. CSS styling seems to be ignored, and images that should be embedded simply appear as a big list of attachments at the bottom of the email.
Has anyone overcome similar issues, and know of any configuration changes I can make in Lotus Notes to try and sort this out? I could post some code, but I think this is more to do with Lotus Notes failings?
Thanks, Neil

According to IBM JavaMail only works properly with v5 up. There's a Red Book kicking around on their site which goes into detail - sorry, can't remember the title, but I did read it a couple of months ago. Have a search, you should find it.

HTML Email Client for Blackberry

Hello,
Forgive me if my question seems elementary, but I am new to the forum and to use of the Blackberry. I currently have an 8830 World Edition phone and have configure on POP email address on the device. I can access my emails successfully. However, if I receive an email that contains any sort of Internet type code (HTML, Java, Javascript, etc), the code does not translate and I only recieve the actual code in the email. It is unformatted. I tried to download a couple of so-called HTML email clients from Handango, however they seem to be limited. I am thinking that there should be a client or a configuration for the Blackberry that would allow me to see Internet related emails formatted as intended. Anyone run into this issue or have any suggestions? I am deperately looking for a solution. Thanks in advance for your input.

As you mentioned you can't view HTML formatting in your email you might be running on BIS 2.4. RIM recently introduced BIS 2.5 which supports HTML email view for its BIS customers. But this yet to be implemented for all the carriers as its been done phase by phase. For getting HTML view you also need to have device OS 4.5 (4.3 for 8110). So you're not far away from your wish!!! But can also have 3rd party software which can do the same trick for you but again these are not free.

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.

Slicing an image to be used as a nav bar for html email

The html email that I've created renders as designed in most email clients. It doesn't in Outlook 2007. It was suggested that I slice an image for the nav bar so it displays horizontally as designed instead of vertically.
It's been a long time since I used slicing images in Photoshop. It doesn't appear that Image Ready is there anymore. I use Photoshop CS3. Is there a straightforward document that could walk me through the steps to accomplish this? Using the Photoshop "help" confuses the heck out of me and when I asked this question in the Photoshop forum, many looked at it but I've had no responses. Or could it be done in Dreamweaver somehow?
The web version of the html email is: http://www.theshimogaproject.com/email/riverrun-guests-email.html

You can't use DW to slice an image. Do you have Fireworks? It's really easy to do it in Fireworks, that's what I would use. If you need to use PhotoShop, a quick Google search, "slicing images in photoshop," return plenty of tutorials that you can choose from.
