January 20, 201016 yr Quick question: How do you include an image in an e-mail from gmail, like a newsletter? I've tried <img src=" but that just sends the text? Help would be much appreciated. Cheers. Chris - Apologies for posting in general, I just thought it was more of a general question.
January 20, 201016 yr you need to encode the email - you cannot just send it from outlook and expect it to get through - try MailChimp or Newzapp for a couple of solutions. Trying to do it yourself, from home, is just pointless. You will end up with a crap end result and the possibility of blacklisting your server. Do it properly for the best results.

If you use <img src=" , you must give the full url - <img src=" http://www.site/diriectory/image.jpg Or attach them of course.
January 20, 201016 yr It's usually impossible to send HTML emails from a normal ISP unless you pay more for a different contract. However, if you have your own domain and hosting service you can send HTML emails, including images or background images, but each one needs to be coded, so it's a bit more time consuming than just typing an email. I use a web form to enter the name and email address of the person I want to send to, after coding the php processing file with the message. It's a bit long-winded, but it works and it's free.
