Try this:

In Mail, File -> Save As and choose Rich Text Format.
Then, open the file in TextEdit and choose File -> Save As and choose HTML.

Untested, but might work.

that got ugly real quick.

my workflow ended up being…
create in dreamweaver,
preview in safari
send contents of page as mail
open Outlook in VMware Fusion
check there.

Outlook 2007 html email = fail

Oh…you meant you were trying to send an HTML email? Yeah…that’d be a different process.

well i originally meant save, but then I needed to send. It all worked out in the end, but talk about headaches, between tables in tables in tables in tables in tables, and outlooks rendering of html anyways.

just a nightmare

HTML emails generally are…glad you got it worked out.

Hello,

I tried this:
In Mail, File -> Save As and choose Rich Text Format.
When I open the file in TextEdit and choose File -> Save As is not visible at all.

Can you please help me?

Thanks!
