Can you create multiple text columns, and insert graphics in the free verision of HTML newsletters?

Graphics can be added by linking to them on a webserver. No changes to the layout can be made in the free service.

Thanks! That's what I needed to know.

Of course any security conscious person has externally linked images in emails disabled so that spammers can't verify their email addresses by sending them an email with a linked invisible image. This means that if you place images in your newsletter this way that many of the recipients wont see them.

How do you disable that, exactly?

I use Pegasus - it doesn't give an option, they are disabled, end of story.

There is no separate image disabling option in Outlook or Outlook Express. I am wondering how this is done.
