How do I send my HTML as an embedded email?
My company has asked me to put together an HTML email to be sent out to our salespeople. I was able to create the HTML with no problems. I thought I could just copy it and paste it in the body of the email, but quickly realized it's not quite that simple.
What do I need to do in order to display my information immediately upon the recipient opening the email? I do not want to send it as an attachment...

<span class="style5">Tim Purswell -Lubbock, TX</span></p>
<p class="text5">The project <em>Slide Road and Erskine Road Improvements</em> had the standard TXDOT specifications. The customer submitted our curing compound because of the success they have had using the product in the past. The city of Lubbock approved the change to our cure with no problems resulting in a purchase order for 6,000 gallons of Shep Cure 309 City White. The customer is so happy with the performance of this material it has become a standard submittal on all projects regardless of specs. The customer also uses many of our other Performance Products including Shep Select joint sealants, 309 City White, 309 Rez-All and Shep Wire.</p>
<p class="text5">We have had great success selling this product, all it takes is getting the material in stock and helping with submittals. We have a Shepler's Performance Product customer for life, they have come to associate our service with the quality of products we provide them.</p> </td>

<p class="text5">This month recorded top sales in Shepler’s Performance Products. To further this trend and to continue increasing sales we need to showcase these products in our showrooms. Below are a few ideas for merchandising Shepler’s Performance Products:</p>
<p class="text5">• Use an end cap for Shep Poxy, Hi Mod LV and Hi Mod MV</p>
<p class="text5">• Create a showroom dynamic display with a variety of Shepler’s Performance Products in different sizes<br>
</p>
<p class="text5">• Use counter space to display the Shepler’s Performance Products technical data sheets and ask customers if they know about our products and their superior quality.</p>
<p class="text5">If your branch has a Shepler’s Performance Products display please send pictures to casey.mueller@cmc.com.</p> </td>
