[thelist] Email Newsletter Graphics

[Daniel J. Cody]

Gina -

I recently had the experience of working on an html email newsletter 
myself.. As far as graphics are concerened, always link to them from the 
server. In the HTML that you're sending out, be sure to include the full 
URL to the images you're showing in your newsletter.. That way, the 
content will display for the user while the images are downloading off 
your server..

And its common knowledge, but be sure to include those height and width 
attributes in the <img> tag so if the user is reading their email 
offline and can't view the images, it formats nicely :)

Not much I know, but a couple tips..
