Here's a solution, it may not be your solution but
maybe it will give you an idea.
I had the same problem, we wanted to send email reminders
to customers.
The solution that worked for me:
1) Wrote word macro in VB that used "send keys" to
activate refresh button in my Outlook "inbox"
(web page to email) then with
"send keys" in macro activated "send as email"
works great, but is only good solution for you
if you enjoy learning programming, pulling your
hair out, and staying up late.
2) You will have to figure out how to get your email
addresses into the "To:" field I think you could
use a table in word pull the data from that.....
Anyway I use a cgi table on the server side to
pull the email addresses.
It was a fun project.
Let me know if you want to pursue.
Good Luck!!!
Email is a decidedly a plain text medium. I use JBMail 3.1 as an email client in Windows and set the filter to delete all HTML email. Any newsletter subscription that doesn't have plain text option will get deleted automatically. For Unix, I use pine similarly configured.
Including HTML or any attachment in a widely distributed message is highly assumptive, probably ineffective, and a less than ideal practice from a computing community standpoint.
If your company must use HTML in email, I beg that your company at least give recipients a text-only option. (And not some coding to strip tags - a real plain text version deviod of tags.)

Everyone here seems to be under the wrong impression that ejgarcia is purposly sending out HTML emails, ejgarcia is only sending out HTML emails for those select few users that request it.
I know how troublesome HTML emails can be. It's embarassing to be at work and opening an HTML email with the false subject header just to find out its a porn email. Those emails should be deleted rightfully, but if your users want an HTML email theres nothing you can do about it.
