![]() "chris" wrote in message .uk... Hi, I work for a charity, and I'm researching how to send HTMLs with our current applications. What I'm trying to do is simple: Compose an HTML email which uses graphics from our website rather than our servers, and send this to a large number of recipients. By not attaching the graphics, we can ease the load on our servers - we're looking to email 50,000 people at a time. We receive a number of emails from organisations all the time where outlook blocks images and asks if I'd like to download them. This is exactly what I'm trying to do. I've run some tests, but unsuccessfully. Does outlook do this, or do I need a 3rd party program? Thanks for your time, Chris. Outlook is not suitable for that sort of mailing list. One issue you may have is your email (maybe your IP address) being blocked by spam filters. Either by the recipients or your ISP. Alarm bells will start ringing when a large number of emails are sent from the same IP address in a short time, or if the content looks 'spammy' You might consider contracting the newsletter out to a specialist company, or look at mailing list software. You could also try our Email Scheduler (http://www.lbetoolbox.com/scheduleemail.htm) which will allow you to send multiple individual emails, either as a one-off or regularly at a specified time and interval between each mail. Emails can be plain text or html and the recipients list can be read from either a plain text file or a database. Not trying to push our software (well maybe a little g), just point out some of the potential issues you will run into, issues which led to us developing the Email Scheduler in the first place -- John Blessing http://www.LbeHelpdesk.com - Help Desk software priced to suit all businesses http://www.room-booking-software.com - Schedule rooms & equipment bookings for your meeting/class over the web. http://www.lbetoolbox.com - Remove Duplicates from MS Outlook, find/replace, send newsletters |

Thanks for such a prompt reply, that really helped out. I downloaded an
eval copy of your software - the problem was with using outlook as an email client. I've a little more testing to do, but if it's straightforward to obtain text file lists of emails from our current database, you'll most probably have another customer next week. Cheers, Chris.
