I have created an email marketing.
A different HTML with styles inline and all good practices of email marketing creation (that are very different from usual web development practices).
After struggling a little bit with this, I had a good html to be sent by email.
One problem, though... The people that receive the email will have to print its content and bring it back to me.
The best way I found was to select the content of the email and print it, but the content loses its styles, colors, etc.
I would like to know if there's a better way to print the email content. Maybe a link with some css... I really don't know.
As I didn't find clear info on this subject on the web, any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Email design is hard enough without trying to make it print friendly as well. If the need to print is common practice for you, I would suggest including a hyperlink somewhere in your email to a web hosted version that is print friendly.
If it is something like a coupon they are printing, you could also take that opportunity to customize it more, add the fine print or any other info you'd like to omit from the email itself.

Anybody know how to do like this one?(refer to image)i want to make something like this(refer to image) for gmail confirmation on my website, but i don't know where to start.

This is a broad question, but I'll try to provide some help to get you started.
If you are referring to how to send an email from a website in general, you need to use a script to do so. How you do this is highly dependent on how you are hosting your website. If you are using Node.js, you could take a look at Nodemailer. You will have to do a bit of research with respect to what you are using to host your website.
You would also need some code to generate a link for each users email.
If you are rereferring on how to style email, you can do this with standard HTML and CSS. As far as I know, there is unfortunately no good method to insert HTML source code using Gmail.

I'm trying to build a HTML email using foundation for emails which seems to have worked well however, I have discovered that outlook 2007+ doesn't like floats, does anybody know of a good alternative?
At the moment my elements are full width instead of floating to the left/right as they should!
Many thanks
I have done a few email marketings in the past months and I can say to you that the best way to build an email marketing is by having some notion of tables and spacers.
Here is a link for a basic tutorial about what I'm saying: Simple Steps For Email Marketing
An email marketing is basically a sequence of table inside tables with a few blank tds usually by the class of spacer.
So here goes some tips that will make it work across all email clients having the tutorial I sent in mind, although I will state that I have never used foundation:
You will need to structure every part of your email inside tables.
Work with all your CSS inline.
Get used to creating spacer (blank tables) to simulate margins that you may then hide in mobile versions.
You need a service that lets you simulate how your email will look in every platform.

Maybe I'm not using the correct terminology because I can't seem to find an appropriate answer. I have built a header and a footer using html and css. This will not change from page to page and so I want to make it the template and simply change the content in between the header and the footer for each page of my website. I know I could simply copy and paste the code but if I wanted to change the header for some reason I would then have to change the header on each of my pages! Super inefficient. Coding is all about reuse. surely there's a way to do what I'm saying. Help me web developers!
You could do one of many things:
Use PHP files and require() the headers and footers in the main page, though you'll have to use a server on your localhost to test the pages.
You could maybe take a look into creating single page applications, using AJAX.
AJAX Introduction here.
You could go a step further and pick one of the very popular JavaScript MVC frameworks.
Read more about them here.
Finally, you could also do it the "old way" and use iframes, but that is honestly bad practice and will bring more harm than good.

I am facing problem to make image responsive in Newsletetter means HTML Email.
I can make that image responsive in Browser but failed to do when I send that HTML as emailer into outlook version. That emailer needs to be responsive in mobile and tablet as well.
Though your question is really broad, I will try to give you information to get started.
Email templates is HTML from back in the 90s. That means, you create code, meant to work on prehistoric browsers (You can test your templates in IE6, or Microsoft Word for example. If it works in there, you've made a pretty good template).
Above information straight away proves to be the problem with what you are asking. How are you going to make something responsive, from the time that responsive wasn't in any way connected to the web?
Though responsive didn't exist back then, max-/min-width did exist back then, which will probably be the way to go.
For some examples you might want to check out this link (Zurb Responsive Email Templates) or this link (HTML Email Boilerplate).
Apart from that, we aren't really able to help you, given that you haven't shown us the work you have done so far.
Edit: And tagging it CSS3 is also not very handy, since I don't think ANY email client supports it.

I have designed an HTML page which I will send out as an email.
I have never sent an HTML email before and need some pointers.
Do you literally just send the code in the body of the email?
What is the best way to attach images?
I have tried Google but haven't found anything that helpful, answers on here are always more informative!
I'm slightly unsure how the whole process works!
Thanks!
Do you literally just send the code in the body of the email?
No.
Rewrite the HTML and CSS to account for the many limitations of various HTML capable email clients and webmail systems.
Create a plain text alternative
Construct a multipart MIME email with the HTML and Text versions as alternate parts
The Campaign Monitor: Resources section has a lot of useful information.
What is the best way to attach images?
Generally speaking, link to external images. Otherwise the email file sizes will be huge.
If its a normal HTML Mailer then yes, you just simply put everything inside the tags inside, and attach images as you normally would using the .
When the user recived the email, if not in the trusted list, it wont load the images, and will ask the user if he/she wishes to load the remote images.
Hope this helps :)
