From Dreamweaver to Outlook: HTML newsletters

Hi there,

a question that seems to have a 1,000 different solutions:

I want to send HTML newsletters using Dreamweaver to design and Outlook 2000 (NOT OUTLOOK EXPRESS!!!) to send it. It just doesn't seem to be easy... Once you have finished the html file, how do you get it into your e-mail body?
One option is to open the HTML file in Frontpage and then use File->Send, but this is kinda weird, once you decide to use Dreamweaver.
 
Again, I know it's easier in Outlook Express, but we prefer Outlook (2000)...

Thanks in advance!

ahhhh yes that all sounds so familiar now and brings back the memories.

thanks for providing the detailed steps humeniuk.

>>I think there must be a way to just switch on the stationary for an individual message without having to close the message and open a new one or having to switch it off once you've sent that message,


I seem to remember an option from that menu where I could create a new email message using that stationary, I didn't have to choose the stationary once I already created my new message...



fneyck, those steps should hopefully walk you through it, if you have any troubles let us know...

Sounds logical, bruno, but I can't seem to find it - curiosity overcame laziness, I guess, so I took a look.

Another handy approach:

Upload the html page you want to use to your website.  Browse to your html page in IE, click File -> Send -> Page by E-Mail.  The page will pop up in a new message window (you may have to have Outlook running already).  You can then add your content, etc.
OK, got it.  Good thing, too, because this was starting to bug me.

Launch Outlook, select your Inbox, click Actions -> New Mail Message Using, select your stationary.  

Voila.
ah yes that is indeed the one i was thinking of.  :-)


hey fneyck, i'm glad we could help, but any reason for the B grade?  humeniuk gave very detailed instructions!  an no feedback from you....
