Hi, I was wondering if you could help me! I'm having problems opening up links in an email newsletter I created.

I coded a newsletter in html on Dreamweaver (and put it on our local server- so it is uploaded on our webpage server) and previewed it in the browser (Internet Explorer). I then went:
File > Send > Page by email...
This popped up in Outlook and to test it I sent this to myself and my work colleagues. When they opened it up though, the links I had put in there did not work? :confused:
A page popped up with an error message.
I was just wondering if anyone knew why this was and whether I'm missing something really obvious!
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!

I don't know anything about Dreamweaver, but one thing I see fairly frequently is folks who send me an email and the links are either local to their machine or local to a web server instead of a fully qualified URL.

Thanks Scleros, I will make sure it is on a fully qualified URL! I'll let you know if it doesn't work!
Thanks again!
