    Not to sure if this exists, so i need your help..

    just wondered if anyone knows if there is a plug in or how to do it.

    we are tryign to set up wordpress so that a client can create a page and then send that page to everyone of his/her users as a html email.

    the concept seams quite easy, your creating a page in wordpress that outputs to HTML, and then it need to send ity as a html email

    any ideas?

    Hi,
    Yes, the concept is fairly simple. In practice, it’s not.

    Having written a lot of HTML email newsletters, getting HTML to display well in, say, several flavors of webmail and pop clients is amazingly difficult. Much of your page will not display if you send the HTML that works on a web page. You must essentially use HTML techniques from around 1995, and for this you’d have to convert to that on-the-fly. Dreadful.

    This is always a hard sell for some reason, but I always recommend to simply send a description and a link to the real page instead. Twenty times easier. But people just fall madly in love with having their logo and pretty colors in the email.

    You’ve been warned! 🙂 And it is possible that some hard-working PHP and HTML coder has figured this out and made a plugin for it.

    Good luck, Dave
