HTML Newsletter w/relative paths??

[Mark]

I've designed an HTML newsletter, that I want to email
using Outlook Express 6. When I insert the HTML into the
body of the email, most of the graphics don't show up
because Publisher saves the HTML with short path names,
not the full path, as needed for the Email to look like
it's intended. Is there a setting I'm mmissing? Help. Thx!

Why not use the base tag? eg..

<BASE href="http://WDVL.Internet.com/index.html">
...
<IMG SRC="Icons/logo.gif" ALT="WDVL logo">
The image is deferenced to:
[url]http://WDVL.Internet.com/Icons/logo.gif[/url]
hope this helps.-- Rob Collyer - [url]www.webforumz.comWeb[/url] design and development

Publisher always writes relative links when it generates web pages. Are you using the publish as web option or the send email function?

David, thanks for the comments. I guess I don't
understand the steps to getting the HTML into the email
body correctly. I've tried inserting the HTML file and
lose the graphics as I decribed. When I try file / send
to / mail recipient, the graphics show up fine, but I lose
the hyperlinks I've set up, and also when the recipient
hovers over the text boxes, he gets kind of a rollover
effect. Unless you can tell me the steps, I'll have to
pour through the manual again. Thanks!

Functionality differs by version which you don't state but I'd suggest
taking a look at the articles available under the articles section on
[url]http://www.publishermvps.com/[/url]
Also review posts over in the general forum as I've seen numerous posts over
there on emailing newsletters. That's not an area I've really gotten into
here in the web site forum.

Design your newsletter in OE 6 with it set to compose in html mode.
It will look just like a web page, it will embed the images / image links properly so that they will
be sent with the email.

David,

I'm running V2002. I've looked through the forum bacj
through June and didn't find step by step instructions on
how to email a newsletter pub. But, I figured out you
just click the email icon and you're "good" to go. I
think I've also learned a couple things. 1 - If you want
to send the newsletter as an HTML file with hyperlinks, in
the body of the email, you can only send one page at a
time - a serious limitation of Publisher. 2 - My
hyperlinks weren't working possibly becuase of an "in-line
object" in the line of text. I've hyperlinked other words
in other sections with no pictures (read "in-line object")
and it works just fine. I wonder if these shortcomings
are fixed in V2003? Thanks for all your help!

Mark

Ok, the email icon (which is the way to go) was introduced in v.2002. And
yes it's only a page at time. v. 2003 is still the same functionality.
Notice that the email icon tool tip (hovor mouse over) does say "email this
'page' ".
