Templates - off the shelf

Does anybody know if there are any templates available on-line that can be used / edited? OR does anybody know how to use Rapidweaver to create html emails with MaxBulk? I have tried and works when viewed in Apple mail but no background or formating is shown in Windows outlook / outlook express apps or Entourage.
I am new to webs / html so the easier the better!
Thanks in advance for your responses.

When you send HTML where are your pictures? On your server? Are you using absolute URLs to refer them?

What I am doing is creating the emailing in Rapidweaver, then uploading to the site, viewing the site in a browser such as Safari or Firefox and everything looks good. I then view page source and then copy all the HTML code and paste into MaxBulk Mailer as HTML only. When I preview the page the page in MBM appears OK. When I send the email all the formatting is lost and only text with links appear - no page layout etc. I checked in different email apps and is the same.

Hope this info helps?

Regards

Tony

Hi Stan,

Thank you so much for your time. I tried what you said with the Base Href... but did not make any difference. The page I am trying to send is here:

http://www.blankmediaprinting.com/page11/page11.html

The page was created in Rapidweaver so I am not 100% sure where all the background assets etc. are located.

I tried putting <BASE HREF="http://www.blankmediaprinting.com/"> after the head, also tried it with:

<BASE HREF"http://www.blankmediaprinting.com/page11/> (being the page directory)

and also:

<BASE HREF"http://www.blankmediaprinting.com/rw_common/themes/multipagemix/> (being the location for the theme)

But nothing is getting the layout via MPM.

Hope the above helps diagnosing this.

Again, thanks in advance for you assistance.

I have tried to paste your code as is into a blank MaxBulk Mailer document. IT previews just well. What do you get if you do the same?

Preview is not the problem, the problem is when it is sent to email addresses and viewed in email clients such as Outlook, Entourage, etc it is only text with links like this below without any images etc.:

Yes, HTML Only.
Click to expand...

I too use RapidWeaver and haven't had any issues with your page in MaxBulk. I went to your page, copied source, pasted in an HTML MBM email and when I hit preview it looks like this.

Actually sending it to myself and it looks the same as it does on your web site when I received it in Mail.app.

Edit: Looking closer at your question, my guess is the email client has images turned off. When I viewed in Apple Mail, I had to enable images which are off by default. Enable images and you should be able to see it.
