I have created a newsletter in Dreamweaver MX 6 that I want to email, complete with anchors.

If I copy and paste this into Entourage, it pastes only the type, not the graphics. If I copy the code and paste it, it does not render, showing the HTML code, not graphics. Same thing happens when pasting it into web mail.

If I save the HTML and bring it over to my Windows machine, it does allow me to import that and send it out. The problem is that Microsoft replaces Dreamweaver tags with its own, thus chaning fonts and anchors.

Is there any way to go from Dreamweaver to an email client without mangling the design?
 
Is your graphics on a server/website.
You'll have to change all your img src tags to
Code:
<img src=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://wwww.yourdomain.com/images/imagefile.gif&quot;>[/URL]

So that it shows up when you mail it out. If you dont have the graphics loaded to a website, users wont be able to see them because they probably wont have the graphics on
Code:
c:///dailynewsletter/images/imagefile.gif
 
The problem is not that the images don't show up when mailing. The problem is when I copy it out of Dreamweaver and into Entourage, the formatting (along with graphics) isn't copied. If I copy the from the code window, just the code is pasted, which is not converted.
