is a straight-ahead overview of what you can/should/cant/shouldn't do
in HTML e-mails.

for some heavy-duty mail classes (be sure to check the "See Also"

I also referenced the following:

on the basics of sending multi-part e-mail (ie. plain text AND HTML).

hi
my question is about send an email with php like a newsletter, when
we read
a newsletter email its similar to a webpage which contains content,
images,
css and other elements
i created a static webpage initially with html css and images folder
after
creating the page i wanted to test to see how it would look if i
were to
send this as an email like a newsletter.
so i have created a php file with
$headers = "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
$to="myemailaddress";
$subject="Email Newsletter";
and
$message as mentioned above has the entire html code as i used it in
my
static html page
i also copied the style.css in the server and created images folder
and
copied all the images i used in my static page to the server.
i created a separate folder in my webserver called newsletter and
copied the
php file, css file and images folder with the images i used
when i accessed the index.php as http://website.com/emailnewsletter
i am
getting a message that The email has been sent and i am getting the
email
however my question is when i open this email the styles and images
are not
being applied and i see only the text in the static page i created.
can someone let me know how i can fix this so that when i open the
email it
would look like the static page i created with all the styles
applies and
images displayed
is this only possible by using specialized email softwares or can it
be done
by php as well with the logic used.
any help will be appreciated.
thanks
