I was aked to create an email newsletter, and I understand that they use HTML tables as part of the layout. It needs to have columns of text and images in it. I am able to create the layout of the email and insert images, make tables, ect., but I am having trouble finding out how to make the newsletter show up. Right now, when I test the email all I see is code instead of a nice layout. Does anybody know how to make an email newsletter work or where I could go to find out? I can make webpages and I think that this might be a similar process. thanks for reading.

Not too sure if this will help or not:

It tells what codes are supported by which browsers and email providers. So it will help you put together codes that work most email providers.
