Converting regular HTML for email

[crimsonsmeagol]

I need to take a regular HTML web page and convert it for email. What do I need to do for this?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

If I just add the HTML code, only the HTML code is displayed instead of the design. Any suggestions?

Use only an image...

So I know this is a stupid question, but what would be the best way of turning the HTML file into just an image?

I am doing this for an Internship and unfortunately the company I am interning with doesn't actually have anyone who knows about HTML so I'm on my own here. I don't have access to a server so it won't be on a server until after it is working. What I am supposed to do is create an HTML email (basically a newsletter) The HTML coding is not an issue for me, but I can't get it to work for email.

Thanks for all the help, I greatly appreciate it.

Just click Print Screen on the top of your key board, go in your paint editor and click CTRL + V

There are links in the HTML which have to be there, and if I do a print screen the links won't be accessable.

How are you sending the emails? You have to have a client that allows you to change the MIME type if you want to insert HTML coding.

You can do things like add links, embed images etc.. with some web based clients (Gmail, Hotmail etc...). So that might be an option for you. It's not using HTML coding, but you can achieve the same look.

Otherwise, I use Thunderbird to create HTML email. With Thunderbird, you can directly add your HTML into the message entry field.

If you use something else, make sure you are sending it with a MIME type of HTML. Again, most email clients probably don't have this though I can't be too sure as I've used the same email tools for a long time don't know about the rest.

A small tip: be sure to use absolute paths.
