HTML email - linking within, formatting

windows

Guest
Hi all,<br />
<br />
I am trying to send out an HTML email... the content looks great and linking within the page works fine...<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ca.geocities.com/l7_2003/Copy_TESTssNews_102403.htm">http://ca.geocities.com/l7_2003/Copy_TE ... 102403.htm</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
... however, when I try to send it out (through hotmail), the formatting gets really screwy and the linking within the email no longer works (jumps from the message to the Hotmail inbox)... I am assuming maybe it changes the link when I send it?<br />
<br />
... I've tried a 3rd party HTML email site which must make some mods to the code because the page looks great in email<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ca.geocities.com/l7_2003/Devmail_unmodified.txt">http://ca.geocities.com/l7_2003/Devmail_unmodified.txt</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
... but it replaces all the links with its own and I'd rather stay independent of that (this is all a favour for a friend at my school).<br />
<br />
... I've also tried sending it out through MS Outlook 2002 but that isn't working either (can't figure it out)<br />
<br />
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time!!!!!<br />

~ Ian<!--content-->I had similar problems before and ended up investing in eCampaign from lmhsoft (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.lmhsoft.com">http://www.lmhsoft.com</a><!-- m -->) - works excellent, allows to code by hand, do it in WISYSIG preview, or to drop in pre-existing HTML file and change it within the emailer, also gives an option for the plain text. The beauty of that soft is - it AUTOMATICALLY figures out what the receiver has and delivers an email compatible with their mailbox. For example, all of AOL people on my end receive plain text (with http:// turning into links, of course), while everyone else gets nice HTML content. I highly recommend it. Ever since I started emailing with eCampaign, I've stopped receiveng complaints about "garble" in the body of the email.<!--content-->
