For years I have received wonderful looking e-mails from vendors, advertisers, etc. who imbed an HTML doc into the body of their e-mail, so when I open the e-mail I am presented with a colorful, interactive document, yet I have NEVER been able to figure out how in the world they're doing it.

Every time I try and insert an HTML document it simply goes as an attachment, NOT as the body of the document. I have specific customers I'd like to reach with attractive, interactive documents but I can't seem to figure out how.

I'm using XP Pro '03.

Can anybody help?

Thanks,

BW

I found out an answer to my own problem, and here it is:

When trying to send the HTML document I was inadvertantly sending a copy which was saved in my "Documents and Settings" folder, basically a temp version of the file I intended to send. It finally became apparent I needed to send an actual URL location and NOT the temp file location.

I use FrontPage 2003 and create newsletters based on this article:

If you don't have FP'03 try this freeopen source program: http://www.nvu.com
