We all get them, those beautifully rendered Apple advertisement eMails that look like a webpage in your message and sometimes those not so beautiful "GIRLS PLUGGED IN EVERY HOLE" spam eMails full of colorful graphics.

But my question is, how do I compose one of these eMails to market to my existing clients. Text eMails can't convey some of the stuff I want to send to them and attachments are cumbersome to open sometimes...I did a Help search in Mail for "Send HTML" and it only came up with how to turn off HTML rendering in Mail. Any help would be much appreciated.

And for those folks who don't have Mail clients that can render HTML, is there a way to put it in the HTML code so that if their mail client doesn't support HTML OR they have that preference turned off, that it will display a plain text message instead so that they don't get an eMail full of HTML garbage?

Good question...

I'd like to know myself... from what I've found you can try iMailist or something along the lines of MailChimp.com....

Any other ideas?

Make your HTML page, or use any existing Web-site...then...

Safari > File > Mail Contents of this Page

Yes, it's really that easy.

Ouch! I never thought of that. In the words of the Guinness guys: "Brilliant!"

You're selling a "girls plugged in every hole" video? Hmmm... what are you charging? Any other fetish footage? Might be interested.
