I’m building a web page and using the FW Create Email Action. I’m then going to be importing this web page into my email marketing software Direct Mail to send out.
After importing the email (and sending it out) can I delete the web page from my server?
I presume all the HTML and images etc are sent out and I don’t have to archive my newsletters for people to see them in their email app?
You will probably need to leave the images up on a Web server. It is really rare to send out embedded images in mail, because it makes the message really bloated, and is a trivial indicator for a spam message. The Create Email Action creates fully-qualified URLs for each img src in your page/message, so whatever host that you entered in your Document Setup dialog needs to have the files publicly available.

Mark - if you have any luck with mailchimp, please let me know, as I have found everything’s ok until you paste in the code and then mail it. Then it all goes to pieces, particularly on mobile devices. I would love to know how to get this to work.
