I want to create and email that has html effects, and have created it in FrontPage. I want it to look like the NUMEROUS spam mails that I receive that are, essentially, a webpage in an email. How is this done? I try to insert the html file, and it attaches as a file.

Thanks for your help ~

What email client are you using? If you're using Outlook, you have to set
the Format to HTML, and then you can copy and paste the HTML into the
message.

There's no way to do this directly in FrontPage.
Generally, you have to write some code that runs on your
Web server or use a 3rd-party add-in component.

For more specific advice, please post again to this
thread, mentioning:

o The type of solution you prefer (3rd-party add-in
or writing code).
o The type of programming your Web server supports
(i.e. ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, JSP, J2EE, Perl, ...).
If you don't know this, post your public server's
URL.

I do use Outlook and I do have the format set to html. How do I copy the page into the email?

Thanks so much ~

You may want to use stationary which is similar / same as HTML - Why didn't
I think of that...?
Tap the F1 key now. Search on - stationary

To create stationery for outgoing messages in OE...
You can use the Stationery Wizard to create new looks for your e-mail and
newsgroup messages.
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Compose tab.
In the Stationery area, click Create New.
To use stationery you see in a message from someone else, select the
message, and then on the File menu, click Save as Stationery.

A stationery file is an HTML file and can be edited in Outlook Express. In a
new message window, on the View menu, click Source Edit, and then click the
Source tab to make changes.
When creating your stationery, try to keep the file size smaller than 10 KB.
Pictures and other objects can make the file too large to be easily
downloaded. (Check the size of your stationery inside the Stationery folder
at \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery.)

Anna, try this... create your HTML page in FrontPage about 600 pixels wide
and make sure all your images and links have absolute references in the code
to the files on your server. Publish the page to your site then send it in
e-mail from the browser "File | Send | Page by E-mail" in IE 6.
