Html How to send it in an email

1 replies
Hello people,

I really need some help. I just bought an opt-in email list with 900k worth of emails. I tested sending myself an email with html in it to see if it would work. All i get back in the html code. I tried a hyper link that says Click me also tried to post an image but still just got the html code instead of the image.

Is there a speical way to do it now? or is there a software that can generate a template for me and i just post the code into my mailer?

Thanks

    First of all, I think this is off to a bad start simply for the fact that you're using a purchased email list of that volume (or any, for that matter).

    As for your HTML issue...email is particularly tricky to compose using HTML, for a number of reasons.

    I am certainly no expert on any of this, so if anyone disagrees or knows better than something I said, please feel free to correct me. This is only what I believe I have learned so far, but that doesn't mean it's all 100% accurate. Just trying to help, hope this gives you a little guidance.
