How can I create HTML email templates using Entourage in OS X.

Posted September 21, 2004

We were trying to set up an HTML email template in OS X Entourage(A combination of Microsoft Outlook and some additional features) and realized that it is not a default feature.

Since Apple Mail only supports rich text, which allows for some html formatted links and that is it, Entourage is the best mail program for sending and receiving HTML emails. However, in order to do so, an additional script needs to be downloaded.

This program is called “Send Complex HTML 2.0.1″. You can download it all over the internet. It is an .sit file, which I also learned is the equivalent to a Windows .zip file. To expand the .sit file, you need stuffit expander.

Place this file in your scripts folder for Entourage and you are ready to go. You get some new Entourage menu options as a result.

To find more detailed instructions, search the internet for “installation” and “Send Complex HTML 2.0.1″ and this will explain installation and how to set up an HTML email in Entourage.
