I created a signature card using HTML. But sometimes when I attach or send reply using the card, its respective HTML code is displayed and not the card.
Have anyone faced these kind of problems?
(This is a total re-write of my previous answer.)
When creating a signature in Outlook, don't manually add HTML. Add whatever you words/fonts/colors/images that you want in your signature, and Outlook will automagically create the necessary HTML for you.
Bottom line: This is not really a programming question.

I downloaded some HTML Newsletter template, adjusted it for my needs, and when i send it, it shows the whole CSS code at the top of the email.
This is mostly happening in Outlook, on Gmail i don't see this problem but some other discrepancies (like buttons size etc.)
Please look up the screenshot to see exactly how it looks like exactly when email received please look up the screenshot
In addition, i read somewhere that CSS code should be moved from <head> tags to just after beginning of <body> tag, but the problem still persists
How do i solve this problem?
Thanks
PS: I put the example of the code below, but i had to cut it because it exceeds 30000 characters... so i don't know if it is working now
OK guys i found the solution.
This was downloaded newsletter template which has inline code but for some reason it has some embedded code which was not necessary to be there.
The CSS coed which was showing in email disappeared just after i erased it from the file, and template without this code part was working just perfectly.
So i would say this was some kind of putting unnecessary code from developer in HTML file... the reasons i don't really know, but now it works.
In addition, i downloaded some newsletter files in the past they had the same problem. CSS showing in top was mostly seen on outlook.
I appreciate very much your assistance. I would say this problem is solved.

We did some fairly extensive research about HTML forms in emails for a client of ours. The bottom line is that it barely works, so it’s best to link to a form in a browser.
What Quentin said holds water, many email clients (cough, outlook) are very specific in regards to their support for HTML emails. In fact most don't even support div's or embedded <style> blocks. Let alone an HTML form.
Your best bet is to use a URL that they click on, which in-turn opens up a form for them to fill out. If you need to capture some of their information automatically (such as email). you can generate query strings and in your mailer have it add the information in dynamicallly..
i.e; <a href="http://awesomeform.com/form.php?email=$client_email">
In email it would look like: http://awesomeform.com/form.php?email=myemail#email.com
Either way
If you are insistent on attempting this, use the email boilerplate to get you started. It has a ton of "best practices" and tips/tricks built right into it.

Complex HTML doesn't mix with many email clients. Forms are especially poorly supported.
Link to an HTML document available over HTTP instead. People can click a link and open it in a regular web browser.
I don't have direct Host or Superuser access to DNN and the way our system is set up I wont get access to those accounts. It is a policy where i work. Is there ANY way to get your HMTL/CSS to actually work as you put it into the DNN HMTL editor? I have tried adding things like an accordion sidebar, tabbed area, and a simple CSS image hover. DNN takes my code and jumbles it up so that it does not work correctly. I have taken markup straight from my text editor, into dnn (that was working fine in the browsers before i took it into DNN) and it shows up, but does not act like it should or the code gets jumbled and breaks and I spend an hour trying to fix it EVERY TIME.
Has anyone out there had the same issue, or any suggestions, tricks to get your markup to work correctly in DNN.
Thanks,
Yes and no, you can't add scripts in the html editor and if you are copy-pasting something that has a FORM element, it won't directly work without modification.
One possible way to keep your javascript working is to move it to the Header or Footer options in the module options of that module instead of the content.
As for if your code contains a FORM element, you can use javascript to modify the Asp.NET FORM element to suit your need, see http://dotnetnuke.bz/Articles/tabid/156/DotNetNuke/98/How-to-Include-Multiple-Forms-in-DotNetNuke.aspx for more details.
I'm designing an html email to be read using Outlook 2007.
I want to add an image, a logo, positioned first thing on the email.
How do I include an image? I feel like I need a path to do the usual:
<img src=”mypath/image.gif”>
But I don’t think I can include paths to anything. What should I do?
Thanks a ton
You can reference an attached image using the cid: scheme.
In general, you would let a tool handle this for you. Last time I had cause to do this, I write the program that sent the mail in Perl and used the Email::MIME::CreateHTML module.
i was trying to get a newsletter done in html . is it mandatory to use while creating a newsletter email template ? what else do I need to take into account to encode the newsletter ?
To get started you can use the templates provided here. When you have some time on your hands go here to understand more about the difficulties associated with creating HTML email.
I think your question is whether you need HTML to make a newsletter. If it's not please ignore my answer.
You don't need to use HTML for your email newsletter, you can just use plain text. However if you want to markup your email newsletter (have colors, images, etc) you do need HTML.
Properly doing HTML-email is difficult. I'm guessing you're not an HTML expert, so I'd advise you to either keep to plain text (which for most purposes is absolutely fine) or use an email newsletter service like MailChimp.
You'll need an application to send your html newsletter from.
