To create a HTML message in the EasyMail HTML editor:
1) click
New Message button on the Message Control screen,2) make sure HTML formatting is turned on under the Format menu. HTML formatting is turned on when a black check mark appears near Rich Text (HTML).
3) write your message and check spelling of your message by pressing F7.
4) select the account you will send your message from in From box,
5) enter the recipient's email address in the To box if you send a message to a single recipient. To send a message to a group of recipients, select the group name in the Group box.
6) write down a brief description of a message (title, etc.) in the Subject box (not required).
From, To (or Group) boxes are required. Otherwise, the Send button is disabled.
If you have your HTML message prepared outside of EasyMail, you can also load it into the program by clicking Load button on the Toolbar. Then select the file with your HTML message. It will appear fully HTML formatted in the window.
At the bottom of the message window there are four tabs: Edit, Source, HTML Preview, and Text Part. When you load the message, it appears in Edit by default. This means that you can make any changes to names, dates, or whatever, at this time. However, if you need to change any of the links (hyper-links) that will take the reader to some other page, then you must go to the Source tab. This will reveal the raw HTML code. As needed, you can make any changes here. Then, click on the Edit menu to see if it looks okay.
If you want EasyMail to maintain the original white space, attribute order, and so on, of the unchanged portions of the document as it was loaded and edited, just check Keep original HTML Formatting option in HTML Settings window.
How to embed images:
1) put the cursor at the place where you want to insert an image;
2) click Insert menu and select Picture or click Insert Picture button in the HTML editor;
3) select the image you want to insert in the displayed window.
You can also edit the text part of your HTML message as you want. For this purpose, check Edit Text Part option under Message menu. When this option is enabled, you will see the E letter in the Status bar.
Then click Text Part tab at the bottom of the Message Control window and make the necessary adjustments.
If your images are not displayed properly when the message is received, here are some troubleshootings that can help you to fix the problem:
1) Try to manually re-link your images in the EasyMail. To do this, select the place where the image must be, click Insert Picture button and specify a full path to your image.
2) If your graphics are from the local disc, please go to the 'Source' of your message by clicking the 'Source' tab and insert the following string in any place between the <head> and </head> HTML tags like it is shown below. You have to replace D:\Work\Webs\G-Lock_Web_Site\ by your own path. There must be the \ character at the end of the path.
<head>
...
<base href="D:\Work\Webs\G-Lock_Web_Site\">
...
</head>
If your graphics are from the web site, please insert the following tag in any place between <head> and </head> like it is shown below:
<head>
...
<base href="http://www.glocksoft.com">
...
3) If you use an extrenal HTML editor to create a HTML email, it is preferable that you use FrontPage that is fully compatible with the EasyMail.
4) Using MS Word to create a HTML email is not recommended as MS Word inserts a lot of extra formatting symbols into the message source that cannot be recognized by EasyMail. To remove MS Word tags, you should click File -> Save as and select the Save as type -> Web Page, Filtered and click Save. Saving your message in this way will eliminate all the specific MS Office tags. Then you can load your message into the EasyMail.
5) If you send your message with pictures to a web account, your images come as attachments. This happens because of the web mail that displays the pictures as attachments. To prevent this, consider placing your images on the web page and include the links to these images into your email. Thus, the pictures will be automatically loaded when the recipient opens your message via the web.
