Using WYSIWYG to create email newsletters

Hi everyone,

My apologies if this has already been asked, I have checked the guides/forums etc but can't find anything. I want to use WYSIWYG to create email newsletters, but when I create a page and copy the HTML code into my mailer software it's all over the place, missing images, formatting issues etc.

Is there a guide anywhere or forum entry with any does/don't when trying to create this type of publication....hope I'm making sense!

Many thanks for all help.

Cheers

Darren

While it is possible to do it, there some issues with for example images where they need to be stored somewhere and if you publish your page. it will automatically publish the images in a folder and the path to them becomes absolute. So by copying the HTML code, you would need to change the path to the images (if you use them) in the code so it would display correctly.

Hope this helps.
