Introduction of a coloured background & photos/pictures in an e-mail Thread poster: Marie Christine Cramay

Dear Colleagues,
I would like to know the method for introducing a coloured background in my e-mails from Outlook Express. Is it simple?
And how can I manage to add photos or pictures found on the Web in my e-mails? Is it possible to save photos in DOCUMENTS/MS WORD and export them directly to Outlook Express in an open e-mail?
I must point out that I have no scanner.
I thank you in advance for your advice (if you could be analytical in your explanations or differe... See more Dear Colleagues,

Thank you very much for youre reply, but what's about my coloured background?
I'll try what you suggested to me for the rest, hoping I will get something positive.
Best regards,

Create a new message. Select Format - HTML (in case it's not already in HTML format).

Inserting pictures: First, save the picture to your hard disk, if it's not already there. Right-click the picture, choose "Save as" or "Save picture as" (the exact command depends on your browser) and save it.

| To Hynek - Other sources for choice of colours for background | Dec 9, 2005 |
Thank you very much for your explanations.
It does work, but do you know whether there is the possibility to get more colours? Those I can see are too flashy or dark for a background? I regularly receive e-mails from an Italian agency which sends me messages with a beautiful pastel blue that doesn't appear in Outlook Express?
Thanks again.
Christine

You can use any color, but you have to edit the HTML source code of the message.
First, select any background color from the menu (see above). Then, in the message window, choose View - Source Edit. Click on the Source tab and look for the following code (about 7th line from top):
<BODY bgColor=#xxxxxx>
where "xxxxxx" is the color code.
Replace the current color code with the color of your choice and choose View - Source Edit again to cancel S... See more You can use any color, but you have to edit the HTML source code of the message.

Hi Tere,
You need to create a new HTML template and set it as default. You will find detailed instructions in Help, just search for "template" in the glossary.
