help!

My boss has typed an e-mail in Microsoft Entourage, with the HTML turned on. It has different font sizes and bold and such.

She would like me to e-mail this to about 2000 people, whioch I have either in an excel spreadsheet or in Filemaker Pro.

However, when this goes to her computer or my computer, all the formatting is lost, and the email doesn't even appear in our default HTML font, but in, I think the fixed width font (it appear like old-time pine email.

What can I do to send this out correctly? Is there a way to merge excel with entourage?

Just one question. Any chance your boss would consent to using plain text email rather than HTML? Because HTML e-mail is evil, wastes bandwidth. Don't know about your customers, but if I've subscribed to an email list, having it send me HTML email is the quickest way I know to get me to unsubscribe.

I don't know if a Mac can just read the file, but if you download Open Office, I know OO can read the file.

How much worse is laptop battery life if you're playing DVDs? I'm thinking of buying a second battery for my iBook so I'll be able to watch movies while on the plane, waiting in the airport, etc.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

On my PC laptops, DVD playing really does eat into the available power.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

tommyrot, everything I've read indicates about an average of 3 hours of DVD-watching time out of an iBook running on battery power.
