when I email this to someone and they forward it, the formatting gets screwed up. Is there something I could do to make it more stable? Thanks so much for your help! I love your software.

How are you mailing it? If you use a service like Mailchimp then there shouldn’t be any issues (they let you send up to 2000 emails a month totally free).

Hi Joe,
No I’m emailing it directly from Safari.
I didn’t know that mail chimp lets you use their service can you post a link for me?
Thanks

Hi Joe,
I think I may have figured out that my the page I created the email in wasn’t long enough and therefore the formating became cramped when forwarding it a number of time. Does this sound like a possibility?

Forwarding a message from Safari is really only useful for a limited test (it’s nothing you would want to do in production). Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor and other services are the correct way to do this. They make it their life’s business to ensure that your message gets through, and so they sweat all the details about keeping their server off the various spam blacklists that you can’t hope to do. When they send a mail message, they can extract a plain text format version of the HTML, and send a proper mixed-format message so that everyone can read it properly. They will make sure that all the correct headers are sent in the message, and they can track whether someone opens the message or acts on it in some way, too. Finally, they won’t get dinged as a spammer, because they don’t send all the messages in one blast. And if they send your message to Gmail or Yahoo mail addresses, it won’t automatically bounce because of the onerous DMARC rules in place there.

so I know very little about all of this. I designed the email in freeway pro and I assume I need to cut and paste the html into one of mail chimps templates. Is this correct?

Right. In your browser, view source and copy the source code. Then paste it into another browser window (in the Mailchimp site, in their mail building wizard). There may be an option to upload an entire page of HTML instead. I have only sent plain-text messages so far, so I don’t know what all the details are on this. I just know where some of the land-mines are in HTML e-mail. Personally, I treat it like the third rail of the subway and don’t touch it if I can help it.

Yep, you can copy the code or just type in the URL of the live page. Same goes for Campaign Monitor.
