The DynamicMailer 1.0 Business Edition and Enterprise Edition support the sending of HTML mail. Sending HTML mail requires some extra considerations, but the results are well worth it. DynamicMailer can fully customize these HTML mail messages, so you can use DynamicMailer tags and macros to create any part of your HTML email message.

Composing your HTML mail message
    The easiest way to create your HTML mail message is to use your favorite browser or other HTML creation tool.  Simply compose your message in HTML and insert tags like |FirstName| or |Date| as you wish inside your HTML mail message.  If you are ambitious, you can even have DynamicMailer tags and macros generate parts of the HTML tag syntax itself.  Save your HTML mail in a file ending with .htm or .html.  When DynamicMailer customizes the HTML mail message for a given recipient, all the tags and macros are expanded in the usual manner, and the final result is the actual HTML that gets sent to that recipient.

   You can import a .htm or .html file into the message body by clicking the Import text button, and selecting the text file you wish to import.And ?STRONG>Mag type?nbsp; select ?STRONG>HTML ?/P>

   Inside DynamicMailer, you click the "Html source" Buttom on the Main Screen by entering URL. DynamicMailer will dowbload the URL And import into message boby. All the links, images, applets, etc. in your HTML mail file all external HTML references to be Auto-replace use on-line accessible URLs.

  When you click "HTML Page" button, DynamicMailer will start up your default browser and show you the HTML source as a real HTML page inside your browser.  

NOTE: Important!  All external HTML references must use full URLs.

    It is important to note that all the links, images, applets, etc. in your HTML mail file must be given as full, on-line accessible URLs.  Normally an HTML page might have an image tag:
    <IMG SRC=image.gif>
with the "relative" file image.gif in the same folder as the .html file on your web server.  However, for HTML mail you MUST specify this as:
    <IMG SRC=http://www.yoursite.com/image.gif>
where image.gif is available on-line at the indicated web site. 

To accomplish this in browsers such as Netscape Communicator, when you edit your HTML page and specify your image, you need to enter the complete URL (e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/image.gif) and check the box that says "Leave image at the original location" so that it doesn't save the image locally and change the reference to the local (non-URL) copy (e.g. image.gif).

This style of using complete URLs is the standard way HTML mail sent out by most commercial emailers.  The next time  you receive such a message, look at its HTML source and you will see that all their IMG, HREF, and APPLET tags point to fully specified URLs available separately on their web sites.  This has the benefit that your HTML mail message is relatively small and sending is much faster than if it had to send all the external files each time to each recipient.  The drawback is that the HTML message is not self-contained and the recipient must be on-line to read it.
