Code
Hello,
I have created a newsletter in Dreamweaver CS3 and I want to be able to send it in the body of an email through Outlook. However, when I copy and paste it the formatting gets lost i Was told by teech support that you could help me with the proper code or tag I need to send this. Thank you.

Since we are working in relative units, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar. It will be added to the overall width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width. 2. Since em units are used for the sidebar value, be aware that its width will vary with different default text sizes. 3. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColHybRtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule. */ .twoColHybRtHdr #sidebar1 { float: right; width: 12em; clear: left; margin-top: 0px; padding: 0cm; top: auto; background-color: #ECE9D8; } .twoColHybRtHdr #sidebar1 h3, .twoColHybRtHdr #sidebar1 p { margin-left: 10px; /* the left and right margin should be given to every element that will be placed in the side columns */ margin-right: 10px; } /* Tips for mainContent: 1. The space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the right margin on the mainContent div. No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this right margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends. 2. Be aware it is possible to cause float drop (the dropping of the non-floated mainContent area below the sidebar) if an element wider than it can contain is placed within the mainContent div. WIth a hybrid layout (percentage-based overall width with em-based sidebar), it may not be possible to calculate the exact width available. If the user's text size is larger than average, you will have a wider sidebar div and thus, less room in the mainContent div. You should be aware of this limitation - especially if the client is adding content with Contribute. 3. In the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This may help avoid several IE-specific bugs. */ .twoColHybRtHdr #mainContent { margin: 0 13em 0 10px; /* the left margin's value is equal to the header and footer which creates alignment down the left side of the document. */ } .twoColHybRtHdr #footer { padding: 0 10px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear above it. */ background:#DDDDDD; background-color: ECE9D8; } .twoColHybRtHdr #footer p { margin: 0; /* zeroing the margins of the first element in the footer will avoid the possibility of margin collapse - a space between divs */ padding: 10px 0; /* padding on this element will create space, just as the the margin would have, without the margin collapse issue */ background-color: #FFFFFF; background: ECE9D8; } /* Miscellaneous classes for reuse */ .fltrt { /* this class can be used to float an element right in your page.

Re: Code
The formatting should be fine. The only thing that would be broken is the
images because they are done like this: <img src="Newsletter_clip_image002_0007.jpg" alt="" width="364" height="96" hspace="12" align="left" /> When, for emails the img src should be an absolute value as opposed to a relative value as you have now, so the src should look like: src="http://www.yourdomain.com/Newsletter_clip_image002_0007.jpg"

Re: Code
I'd cut out any of the comments in the markup. They serve no purpose and only
add to your spam score. Also, for reasons unknown to me inline css in preferred over linking styles in the head of the document. http://www.tizag.com/cssT/inline.php And if you're sending this to more than 50 people at a time with Outlook you could easily get your IP address/domain blacklisted, which would mark all of your future outgoing emails as spam to other ISP's. I'd suggest you look into a service such as steamsend.com or mailchimp.com. They send your mail from a separate IP and keep you from making a lot of dumb mistakes.
