How to send HTML email using Outlook
What is the point in using HTML email?
Outlook offers three email format types for creating email messages: plain text, rich text and HTML. By using the HTML email format, you can easily insert HTML tags, such as images, links, forms or scripts, into your outgoing email messages.
How does HTML email work?
HTML emails are basically HTML pages transported as email messages and Microsoft Outlook is using the XML format for automatically generating the HTML code for your emails. However, you need to be aware that, when sending a HTML email, you assume that the receiver is also able to properly view HTML formatted emails. Due to increasing virus attacks via HTML emails, it is possible that your HTML email is going to be blocked or quarantined by the spam blocker or anti-virus program of the one receving your email.
In order to increase your chances of properly delivering a HTML email, avoid inserting potential malware code within your outgoing HTML emails, such as:
| scripts nested within your email HTML code; images which are not transported within your HTML email message, but downloaded from a server when the email is viewed; executable email attachments; any HTML code which may trigger an external URL when the HTML email is displayed on the receiver's computer. As a result, stick to pure HTML tags when composing a HTML email.
In order to create a HTML email using Microsoft Outlook, you firstly need to turn on HTML editing for your emails. To do so, open Outlook, then from the Tools menu bar, open the Options window, then click on the "Mail Format" tab and on the "Message Format" frame, select "HTML" from the message format drop-down list.
To insert an image into your new email message, go to the "Insert" menu, then click on "Picture...". This will open the properties window for your image. To select which image to insert, click on the "Browse" button and select the desired image file. You can also insert an alternate text for your image. This text is going to be displayed over your image placeholder, if the receiver of your HTML email has disabled images within incoming email messages.
Depending on the email client software of the one receiving your HTML email, you might need to insert link tags in your HTML email body, in order to properly display a clickable link within your email. |
