Howdy_McGee Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 So I have to develop an email newsletter. I am having the most trouble with this than anything I've ever learned. I understand it has to be coded all in tables and inline CSS and such but HOW do you actually place what you code into an email? I mean there are no "HTML" option on Yahoo mail or gmail. Has anyone developed any kind of email newsletter before? How did you place in your HTML? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone developed any kind of email newsletter before? How did you place in your HTML?To use it with gmail you need to use outlook express or any other email application. You can not insert HTML directly into a mail send using gmail. What you can do is compose a mail using their interface that has the same options as you would have coding one in HTML and CSS.To do this click on the link saying "rich formatting" after you choose to compose an email. You should then see a bar that will let you choose colors, underline text, bold text, lists, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowMage Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Are you planning to use PHP to send the email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[dx] Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Well, you must use PHP's mail() functions.HTML is just text formating.You use PHP to transfer HTML via email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowMage Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 nope just HTML and imagesI mean, are you composing an email using HTML/CSS markup and then trying to send it yourself through your gmail/yahoo/hotmail account, or are you composing and sending it using PHP via the mail() function?
