First day of school for both kids, and my first day off in months...but NO.. my poor son who was going to start his first day of kindergarden is sick with a fever and more...you don't want to hear what...

Anyway, I'm really frustrated with my mail. Someone please help me because despite all of my trials, errors, and some success, I still don't think I'm sending my mass mail out effectively. I always send a copy of everything I send to my personal inbox (netscape mail). But recently I changed my personal mail to gmail, and I noticed that a lot of my images had broken links, but then if you scrolled down it would show again, correctly. I proofed it in a webmail address, and then saw something completely different.. it showed the text version, and then if you scrolled down, it showed the correct html version. One more thing, when I sent a test of the identical mail out of gmail, it went out perfectly with no extra text, exactly the way I want it to send. I need someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong. WHY??? What setting am I missing in my mail? What am I doing wrong? I don't have the option in my mail to upload an html page. AHHGGHHH! Do I need to change the software I'm sending the mail with?

ok, back to my sick son, who very clearly is going to miss another day of school with his high fever, etc. thanks for listening to my mailing temper tantrums...
