Your outlook is probably set up to send plain text email. Change that setting and you should be good to go. Option 2 is to save your newsletter as a PDF and attach it. THat is a way to make sure everyone sees thing the same.

Can’t just dump HTML code onto an email in any email client. You must load the newsletter as an html file which it is.

Only your client’s will see the HTML newsletter if they have opted to receive HTML and not text only email.

Hello,
Start Microsoft Outlook and go to the “Tools” menu. Click on “Options.” In the “Options” window, go to the “Mail Format” tab.
Step 2
Select “HTML” from the drop-down menu in the “Message Format” section. You can also select “Use Microsoft Office Word to Edit Messages” to benefit from options and settings available in Word. Click “Apply” to save these changes.
Step 3
Open a new email message by clicking the “New” button on the toolbar. Insert a graphic into the email by going to the “Insert” menu and pointing to “Picture.” Select the type of picture, such as “From File” or “Clip Art.”
Step 4
Create a graphic-rich publication such as a newsletter or poster in a program such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher. When it is finished, go to “Web Page Preview” from the “File” menu. The publication will open as a web page.
Step 5
From the browser window (such as Internet Explorer), go to the “File” menu. Point to “Send” and select “Page by Email.” A new Outlook email message will open with the newsletter or other publication in the body of the message.
Good Luck!
