image button in email

I know how to put an image in email using outlook, but how can I make it a button to link to something?

The easiest way (for me) is to use Front Page or Front Page Express (or other HTML editors) to create a page, then Select All and cut and paste to the Outlook message.

cut-n-paste code? I tried that- cutting and pasting code from notepad and sending as rich text... and all I got was the code?

If you cut and paste from a WYSIWYG editor in view mode, the links and scripts go with images, buttons, text, etc. It doesn't work if you just copy and paste the html coding from a text editor. If you do that, you just get text that is html code, displayed as html formatted text. When using Outlook to create a message in html format, Outlook is itself a WYSIWYG html editor, but with very limited capabilities - it can't view source, insert links, make tables, etc.

Outlook can insert links,
Select your image (or text) then Insert|Hyperlink and type in your URL.
