Its just basic tabular html, even if its text image text image with no tables- thats fine. Also the images arnt gonna be that big its just an example.

<html>
<head>
<title>HipHop and Urban Wear</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<table align="center" border="4" bordercolor="#993366"
cellpadding="10"
cellspacing="0" width="500">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><font color="#993366" face="verdana"><b>
Ozzys, Scotland!
</b></font>
<p>
<table cellpadding="5">
<tbody>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<a href="www.ozzys.co.uk"><img
src="http://www.g3designs.org/ozzys/ozzylogo2 copy.jpg"></a></td>
<td><font face="verdana" size="-1">
<b>Texts
</b><br>
Some texts
</font></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<a href="www.ozzys.co.uk"><img
src="http://www.g3designs.org/ozzys/ozzylogo2 copy.jpg"></a></td>
<td><font face="verdana" size="-1">
<b>texts
</b><br>
texts
</font></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<a href="www.ozzys.co.uk"><img
src="http://www.g3designs.org/ozzys/ozzylogo2 copy.jpg"></a></td>
<td><font face="verdana" size="-1">
<b>texts
</b><br>
texts
</font></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</p>
<p><font face="verdana">
tests
</font></p>
<p></p>
<center><font face="verdana"><b><a
href="www.ozzys.co.uk">Ozzys

</a></b></font></center>
<hr>
<font face="verdana" size="-2"></font>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

was totally under the impression that, you could just use normal html in an email and if you got it setup in your inbox to execute the html it would read any html especially if its as basic as that ;/

Sorry for not editing my previous posts and adding to them......

But im a bit desperate to get this stuff done =/ I asked my brother to send me the code through his pop3 account at work and i still recieve it as code. Any help appreciated on what client/email provider to use to send the html out so recipients recieve it as formatted html


THANKS very much for all the help so far

You can't send HTML through anything unless you do it manually. E-mail clients will convert the HTML to the literal strings rather than HTML tags.

What you can do is use Outlook or similar and compose a message in HTML format by hand (ie using the interface with the bold, image buttons etc)

save your page in the outlook stationary folder and then just use the "new mail using" tab and select your page

might be worth a try, better off using php or asp to do it instead...

nice of them to hide it out of the way though... not like its usefull or anything

actions > new mail using > more stationery (one day i will learn to spell i promise)

make sure you set all your image link borders to "0" and add the http:// before your links and it should work first time
