Hi Dianna :

You can do a 'view source' of the HTML page that you
want to send by email, and cut-&-paste it in the
'compose box'.

Warning 1 : Send it to yourself first. Create email
accounts for yourself (in all top free-email sites -
Hotmail, Yahoo, Myworldmail, etc) and send it to your
own email id's and check how the 'HTML' is being
rendered in each of the above email sites. Some of them
show the source as it is, without converting to HTML.
Send it only after you're satisfied with the results.

Warning 2 : The 'Email Client' that you are using to
send the above mail, should be one which can send
'html' too....ie., Outlook, Netscape composer should
work fine. But thoroughly test it before you take any
action.

(Note : I have thoroughly experimented with this
myself, and I did have a problem sometimes even with
the above clients.)

I send a 'HTML' newsletter myself, to over 27,000
voluntary subscribers. It is a 'Best-of-the-Web'
Newsletter, which can also be read online at :
