Hi everyone,
I am trying to make a html mail, you know, a mail that loads the pictures from the net to keep mail-file-size low.
I use outlook2003, and i cannot seem to get this working.
What i already tried
-I tried to put the html i made with NVU inside 2003 as a 'letter-paper', sorry for the bad english, i use a dutch outlook.
I get the html as i made it in NVU, BUT the code for the pictures in the html use absolute links (http://www.xxx.com/img/xxx.jpeg). Once outlook takes it in as letter-paper, he replaces those links with code like this : src="cid:image001.jpg@01C835C3.63A85450". That means the images are now INSIDE the mail, and not downloading from the net at the recipient.
-I tried to make the html-mail in outlook itself. I want to insert a picture and point outlook to http://www.xx.com/img/xxx.jpeg. Outlook then comes asking for a login and password for a server... beats me why. That doesn't seem to work either.
-I took a closer look at stationaries... I didn't know much about them. But asking a friend, he told me that the pictures within those, are also not downloaded from the net at the recipient, so are also inside the mail. And only outlook express can handle stationaries well, or handle them at all. Not an option either...
-I searched the whole net for tutorials, but every tutorial is about outlook express, witch doesn't seem to have as much problems with creating ans sending html mail. nothing i can find for outlook 2003.
I'm as stuck as a bull in quicksand. I constantly receive html mails, but i cannot seem to create them myself. I am already trying to figure this out for weeks. Most shocking to me is that the FREE 'with windows' outlook express can do better, or can do at all, what the hefty paid office with outlook2003 cannot.
Any help would be welcome, thx
