Go to Tools>Options>Mail Format. Select HTML from the drop down.

To make an external reference set text as a hyperlink or type the link to the image directly into the body. You can also include links in the body of a Plain Text email.

If you are trying to make an image appear inline you will need to use HTML for the body of the email. Depending on the recipients machine settings, however, your email may not be viewed as intended.

Thanks cuba pete, but I must explain myself clearer,

I want to send a newsletter mail type, so I have some options, but Ms hiperlinks are not. I am trying to do what you express very well on your second paragraph, but not just an image, there are other better ways like tables, ... that enable surpasing filters and firewalls, where images can be placed. My problem is to use html for the body, where or how do I do it in outlook2007?

Hello Friends,

In order to create a HTML email using Microsoft Outlook, you firstly need to turn on HTML editing for your emails. To do so, open Outlook, then from the Tools menu bar, open the Options window, then click on the "Mail Format" tab and on the "Message Format" frame, select "HTML" from the message format drop-down list.
selecting the HTML email format
After the HTML selection is made, you can create a new Outlook email message and it will automatically use the HTML format. Depending on your skills and preferences, you can then compose the email using the Outlook HTML features (using the "Insert" and "Format" menus from the Outlook message edit window.
How to insert images into HTML emails
To insert an image into your new email message, go to the "Insert" menu, then click on "Picture...". This will open the properties window for your image. To select which image to insert, click on the "Browse" button and select the desired image file. You can also insert an alternate text for your image. This text is going to be displayed over your image placeholder, if the receiver of your HTML email has disabled images within incoming email messages.

How to add HTML links in Outlook HTML emails
Depending on the email client software of the one receiving your HTML email, you might need to insert link tags in your HTML email body, in order to properly display a clickable link within your email.
To insert a hyperlink while editing a HTML email message, go to the "Insert" menu and select "Hyperlink...": a new window will popup, asking you to specify the properties of your new link. Please note that not every link is a HTML link: you can use the same function to insert clickable email addresses, FTP addresses or other link types into your new Outlook HTML email.

Once you click on the "OK" button, the new HTTP link will be displayed within your Outlook HTML email message.
To fully customize your HTML email message, you can set Outlook to use Microsoft Word to edit email messages, thus getting access to further HTML editing options, such as HTML tables, paragraphs or any other HTML tags.

Best Regards

Both answers, yours and next one from cuba pete, refer to writing the email using the outlook editor, not in html code. I want to write it in html code.

Using the tools and options you describe, you do links, images and so on, not inserted using html code, you know, <a href, <img src=... and that's what I want to do, write it in html code. Is it that outlook does not permit writting html but uses html to send the mail?

Yes, the coding is hidden to make it easier for everyone to be able send messages with hypertext. However, I think this is what you are looking for: http://www.ehow.com/how_7243361_set-source-edit-microsoft-outlook.html

You will get free and paid application to write html and other format mail. But I recommend you not to use any free application because of hidden hacking tools and more over it will take away your confidential info from your device.

PST Viewer Pro is mail coder and viewer application that helps you manage the contents of your Microsoft Outlook .PST, .MSG, .OST and .EML files. Search functions help you quickly find what you are looking for. Export operations let you save your Outlook emails to different formats, including searchable PDF files, MBOX, MHTML, .MSG, and more. A PST Viewer App for also carry with Apple iPad.
