Create and Send HTML Email
These days it's quite easy to create and send your own custom designed emails.
Currently HTML email is so much more appealing than its predecessor 'text based email'. Studies show that text based email is falling behind fast in popularity.

What is HTML email?
A custom designed email looks like a custom designed web page. You can design the page layout using any color scheme you like. You can add photos of friends and family or if it's business related you can add your logo, product images, sale 'hooks', specials . . . the sky is the limit!

However, there are some things to think about before deciding to create a custom email.
1. Not everyone will see your custom design when they open their mail.
2. Graphics are slower to load and take up much more room than text.
3. There is not 100% support of HTML email on all computers.
4. Hackers can send viruses or other intrusive code embedded in an HTML email.
5. Users may have some settings on their computers turned off preventing the HTML email from being viewed.

Even with the aforementioned caveats, HTML email is rising rapidly in popularity and to top it off - it's easy to create your own custom HTML email!
