Sending an HTML file as the main body of a message

When using the import html facility it will only bring in the text. The images will not appear plus there are also a heap of dotted lines around everything.

I wish to send an HTML file in the main body of a message, not as an attachment. I receive quite a few of these so it must be able to be done. I need the message to open  immediately to show the HTML created page. Can someone please oblige in telling me how I can do this.

You might try creating the HTML file and then use the right click "Import HTML file".

Depends what you want to do -- the original post is not clear.  Import Text File puts the raw html in the body of the message.  Importing an html file puts the interpreted html in the body. Here is an example...

Importing file PmailTest.html as HTML:  [note that only the "alt=" text is displayed]

Webcam Image 


Importing file PmailTest.html as TEXT: [note that only the entire raw html text is displayed]

<html>

<head>

<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy for Windows (vers 25 March 2009), see www.w3.org">

<title>Cottage Webcam</title>

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="62">

</head>

<body>

<p><img name="Webcam" src="http://www.xxxxxx.com/webcam/image.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Webcam Image" id="Webcam"></p>

</body>

</html>
