Doing some work for a presentation and part of it is a branded html email.

have done them before as online apps in asp and php but for this that method is to compliacted and can't guarantee having online availabitliy for demo.

So just need to do an offline demo in Outlook Express, have the HTML file of the how I want the mail to look, but am stuped about how to stick it into a mail message.

Remember all this is a demo, and will be offline, so all help, ideas, laughter appreciated

loads of people ask this question. I remember there was a site that told you how to do it using outlook express. It was seriously complicated though. I don't think there's any programs to do this on the mac, apart from netscape mail (which sucks)

If you got a PC there's a lot of ways to do it. Lots of utilities, my favourite is group mail pro. If you got office you can open the html file in MS word and then click the email button on the toolbar. If you've not edited the file in MS word in any way, then it pastes the original html into outlook ready to send...

I'd be happy to prepare the email in group mail pro if no-one else has a better suggestion...
