Re: Emaili use yahoo
 
Re: EmailI just sent out my first email newsletter this week - I sent via Gmail, using Thunderbird for my mail client.In my case, I copied the newsletter (control-A, control-c) and pasted it into a new email (control-v). The other option I had was to forward it as "inline". Oh, and I made sure I sent it to myself, with everyone else as a BCC.Hopefully this will help?

Re: EmailHow do you put pdf files in the message?
 
Re: EmailIn Gmail when you are composing the new mail message select "Attach a file" under the subject line and then select "Browse" and then select the pdf file from your hard drive. That will add the pdf file as an attachment to the email.

I am not sure how you could imbed the pdf into the actual body of the email message.
