Newsletters

Hey guys!

Right - relatively simple problem for you to help me with here - I've set up a newsletter page in the admin section of my site, which automatically sends the submission to the address of every subscriber. The thing I want to know is: how can I go about creating HTML formatted newsletters with images and whatnot? Currently my newsletter consists of a subject box and content box, similar to a standard email form - this means it has to be plain text only really! I thought of just bunging in a hypertext link to the messages which could launch a page from my site which has the newsletter - but I've seen this being done in the email itself - take Amazon, for example!

Thanks for your time, old beans! :wink:

You just send html in the message, then if the users client knows how to parse the html it will do. Link to images on remote servers.
