My apologies if English is really your first language - - really! I wish I could be more understanding but your email lacked much. I could not tell if you could not send any mail at all. I could not tell what version of Outlook and MacOS you were using.

Does the option to compose HTML/Text email appear in the Format menu?

Hi well thanks for replying I guess, its new trying to type and get work done with a screaming 9 mth old in your ear, I used to work as a designer and now trying to get back into it only as a freelancer, but things have gone to pot as u can tell, I'm using Mac OS 9.2 and outlook 5.02 and I do get the option but it doesn't work and I think I know how to do this, you need to add the link in the email as an option from the above menus' whereas my outlook comes back with an offending error saying it can't find the right system!!!!
My new plan is to download outlook 5.0.6! Might as well try, the thing is, the person wants to email a certain page from a website to other people via a pc any way, so I know it can go from a PC but I don't have a pc in front of me, and anyway I need to know how to do it from a mac anyway!

Hope u can help and please excuse any spellin mistakes.

As far as I know there is no easy way of doing it from a mac. Not the answer you wanted to hear, but I use a PC to do that as you can view and edit the source code. Entourage and Outlook Express will not allow you to edit the source code. You can do basic formatting from both, but as a designer I'm sure you won't be happy with the limited ability. What I have done for a couple mac clients is designed a coldfusion page on their web site that will allow them to create html pages, and paste the source code in. Then they submit the page and coldfusion handles the emailing for them. That way they can format to their heart's content. The catch is you need to upload the images to the server first, and use absolute links.
Best of luck on your new ventures. (screaming 9 month old AND freelancing)
