How to create a newsletter with Xara?

[MarciaB]

Hi, is it possible to create a newsletter with Xara, like the Xara Outsider? I work with XDP7.

The HTML that Xara produces isn't suitable for emails unfortunately, as email and web standards are very different. You can use the graphics you produce from DP7 though in a newsletter.

I would personally recommend a third-party provider such as http://mailchimp.com/

Thanks Rob, I'll do that, although I'm wondering what software Xara uses for the Xara Outsider.. Mailchimp is ok, and there is Wordpress of course..

I believe our emails are hand coded, our website guy has a template he's wrote which he then adjusts for each outsider (and gives you so much more control than getting a program to write it for you). Can PM you what we use to distribute it if you want unless its the template your more interested in.

Thanks
Rob
