Just go into Outlook express, create a new message, and at the bottom is "source". Replace this with your own. Remember to host all images etc. elsewhere though, and just place them into the source as http://www.your-domain/image.extension.
You could even probably create the source in frontpage or whatever. But remember, if your customers don't have a HTML mailreader, they'll just get to them what looks like a load of rubbish.

You can enter the HTML fo the email so that the email will be in full HTML.
So that if someone cannot receive HTML emails it will just show up the code.

Outlook Express allows you to send HTML email, meaning what? an image background, fancy fonts and colours? My question was how to send my homepage (html page) via email? with all links same as the site itself. This is not a new 'Idea'! Amazon, eBay etc use it. All the big boys use it for promotion on the Net.
Forget about 'SPAM', just for the sake of learning please!
PS: "FP is more advance than DW?" could already be a big discussion between their fans. I never comment on them.

I'm not having a go at you here, it's just that people have posted things which would be equally as stupid as what you just said there.
I thought DW was a WYSIWYG HTML editor that was nore advanced than FP but it turns out it isn't. Sorry about that.
But I've seen some really stupid ideas come up around here and if you did mean that above, I would no way be surprised!
Put it this way, someone came here once advertising their Geocities page. What they expected were people to pay them to display their banners on the page.
See what I mean when I say that there are some really stupid ideas!
I got the wrong idea, sorry about that.
Anyway, Outlook Express allows you to send HTML emails, most email programs allow it too now. It's just the case of finding an ISP that allows mass-mailing.
Freeola don't allow it as someone here found out and most other ISPs will terminate your account if you use them to send out mass promotional emails.
Email the people who host your site (unless you do it) and ask them if they will allow it otherwise I'm sure there will be a company on the internet that will do it for you. Just don't fall for one that will create a hotmail account and send the mail via hotmail. It won't look very good.

Wow, things becoming techie here. I'm just a newbie who use DW to create a website and send it off for business promotion. Can we stick to my original question: how to send an html page via email client. Do I need speical software to send the mail?
If you can edit php and other server side stuff using it then that's a completely different picture.
I remembered reading somewhere that DW was just a basic HTML editor like FP.
Do you have to write the PHP in by hand or has it got an automated code generator like FP does when for example you insert an image?

Oh, and Dreamweaver does all most file types, including HTML (and all the SHTML, XHTML etc), php, cfm, js, xml (and all other XML file types), css (though this is not supported by the WYSIWYG), asp, aspx (and all other Active server Plus file types), as, asc, asr, txt, lasso, jsp and jst, tld, java, wml, edml, vbs, vtml and a few others.
I don't know what half of them are but thats what it can save as.

Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG and a text editor. It is very good in code view if you know HTML as it has colour palets extra so you can get the colour you want straight away, auto complete for code (say you type bo it will finish it to or if it is the end of the code), it colour codes the tags so it is easier to find stuff, and a lot more great stuff. If I'm gunna write HTML I write it in Dreamweaver code view as it makes it so much quicker and easy than say notepad. Also the WYSIWYG is good for previewing the site and making tables the size you want them. The Image rollover stuff is good aswell as I can never remeber the code for that. Also the buttons on the Insert bar are quicker than typing it in code, and it will let you insert the date and time its self, with out you having to check it on you watch or desktop.
It make webdesigning quiker basically.

I've just heard many people saying that DW is a basic WYSIWYG editor. Because of this it means that you are limited as to what you achieve because it only writes in standard HTML.
Most big sites such as here were all designed using a basic text editor. You can produce a far more powerful site by writing it by hand than you can using a WYSIWYG editor.
I'm sure you can create some pretty impressive sites using DW (this site was made using FP and it's quite good looking http://webservices.web.cern.ch/webservices/) but surely as more powerful languages are being used, sites that are created using DW would appear as being very basic compared to other sites?
Sure there are advantages to just having a HTML site, ie it works on all servers but surely you're gonna be limited when using DW as it surely can't have as much functionability as using a basic edtor and writing the site yourself?
I've never used DW as I said but surely you can't make sites to such a high standard than you would if you were to design them 'by hand.'

Some workplaces have disabled it because of bandwidth problems and porn. You'll have to look into it but I've read before about the problems that HTML email possess and how companies are disabling them. My college disabled them because of problems.
