Hi, I am new here so if I'm in the wrong forum I apologize. here is my problem, I created a HTML email for a client, however I sent the template to the client by just dropping it in a message and sent. But this morning my client called upset unable to copy the email I sent him so he could use it as a template to send to his customers. so my question is , I was able to create this HTML email with pictures and the verbiage he wanted. so how do I get him his email so he can use it ? I'm sorry for the stupid question but my brain is letting me down this morning any help would be amazing Thank you
The pictures are picture files, not part of the HTML file, which is solely text. There may also be other files. It depends on how you created the thing. (Evidently you didn't just open a blank text file in a text editor and write it.) If you created it using some graphic editor (like Dreamweaver), where you "design" the site and the program writes the code (which is what I suspect you did), you'll have to learn how websites work (which is going to take a lot more time than you probably have before you lose the "client") or you'll have to hire someone to fix what you thought you created, but actually didn't.
I did use dreamweaver to set it up I did forget to link the pictures to the website but after going thru it again, I was able to save the html code to my desktop and then insert the template inside outlook using (insert as text) I sent test emails and all pictures are showing up and links are working thank you
Why not use something like Mailchimp-so much easier to create an email newsletter in that rather than hand code it without any website knowledge.
