You're not attaching the images, are you? You need to upload the images to a
server and link to them from the email.

You need to send your message as multipart. Alternatively, just don't use
HTML email...that way you know everyone can read it.

Remember that html support in email applications is across the board. Some
do OK (like outlook and outlook express, which use IE to render email) and
others don't do HTML email at all.

As for sending HTML email from a desktop computer, I've only had luck with
Outlook Express on a PC.

I'm guessing someone somewhere has set up a mailer system that works with
Filemaker Pro. Have you done any google searching?

Darrel , could you expand on this as i send html emails and dont know of the
method to allow users for example to click a link that will enable them to
see an online version if their email clients dont support html emails

Darrel,
I am linking to the graphics on our server with absolute links. I have a
message on a Filemaker message board. If I get an answer I'll post it here
as well. Thanks for the tips.

Dan,
I don't have Entourage
