create html-email

On the site from Softpress it looks very easy tot do.
But i wouldn’t be here when it works. So, I a have a
html-document like a newsletter uploaded to my webspace. And send the pagecontent from Safari to my outlook, to send it like a newsletter. On the Mac it looks perfect, but still on pc’s something goes from. When i turn on CSS in freeway its getting worse. SO what can i do more so that the html-email is going to be also great on a pc?

Use HTML 3.2 and don’t expect ALL email clients to display the email as well as Apple’s Mail does.

It’s a very hit or miss affair - some email clients render HTML well, some badly, some don’t even do it. Some people even switch HTML rendering OFF.

Hey Paul, thanks for the reaction. What do you mean with HTML 3.2 is that for Freeway or ment for the mailprogram?
And swithing HTML rendering is that in the mailprogram?

In Freeway Pro you can change the document type of your page to HTML
3.2, HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0. To do this, select your page and in the
third pane of the Inspector palette (Page Output Settings) change the
HTML option to HTML 3.2.

I’d recommend a program called “mailings”:

http://www.limit-point.com/Mailings/Mailings.html

to actually send the emails themselves. There’s a setting in there that will allow you to embed the images into the HTML email itself instead of having to host them on a server.

I have use Mailings many times myself, and together with Freeway produces HTML emails that are displayed correctly on Mac and PC without the user having to hit the “download images” button.

Embedding images isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve found that some users can be confused by having to download the images separately.

Hi James,

I see that Joe produces iForm as well as Mailings, have you used it with
either Freeway or on the web in general.

It would seem a good way to collect form data.

The reason for asking" I have need to collect ornithological breeding
statistical data from volunteer observers via a website. The data then needs
to be manipulated and then finally mapped via Google Maps.

Best wishes Peter

Don’t want to do too much advertising for my own developments, but our mailing list manager TOBIAS EICHNER IT + CONSULTING - Information Technology Is Our Universe ! is also capable of differing between HTML and text mail submissions - the choice is then up to your e-mail recipients which one to see.

But beside this, I would encourage you to create a text mailing unless you see a real need for HTML. They are smaller in size, 100% compatible to all mail clients and spam-filtering friendly.

Also personally I must confess that I more like to get newsletters or business mailings as text, since I can easily print them (HTML is often destroyed on the printer output).
