I get tons of HTML emails every day (many look fantastic, ie the ones

from reputable companies, not spammers) so I'm not sure why you might

think it never looks right? Given today's slew of html enabled mail

readers and ajax style online email apps, I can't see any reason why

html formatted emails shouldn't look 100% as they do on websites when

all the image blocking/html formatting options are turned on for

trusted senders.

This is used for an internal company email so nobody cares about the

linked html, although I would be happy to embed my images, but last

time I looked I recall not finding any easy tutorials on how to do

this, perhaps it's time to look again.
