How do I send HTML email blasts?

How do I send HTML email blasts?

I have been working as a designer for 4 years and I still can't send an html email blast. I have tried sending through outloook a "plain text," "rich text," and a "html" email that contained a page of pure HTML code but when I recieve it at any of my other email addresses it doesn't show up as html it shows up as text and code. I take the code from my pages and put it in an email directly and it doesn't work. I have no idea how to get my html to be visable via email. I really need to know this as all my clients want to offer newsletters etc. Please, can anyone help me?

It must be the simplest thing to do but I can't seem to do it... step-by-step directions would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much,

make the template you want to use as the newsletter and then dump it in the following directory:

c:/program files/common files/microsoft shared/stationary

goto outlook express and click on messages >create new message using template (i think it's this, i cant recall) whatever template you named and bob is your uncle.
