There are two options available when you wish to send your impaticized content through e-mail. You can send a "streaming e-mail message" that will begin playing as soon as it is opened, or you can include the content as an attachment to an e-mail message.

Sending your presentations as a "streaming e-mail message" is similar to adding your presentations to your web site with one notable exception. The HTML code that invokes and plays your content is not added to your web site; it is embedded within the e-mail message that will be sent to the desired recipients.

Once you have uploaded your impaticized presentation, you will be able to view, copy and save automatically generated e-mail HTML by clicking the "E-mail HTML" tab.

Many newer desktop e-mail programs are capable of sending HTML encoded e-mail messages, including Outlook Express 5 and 6, Outlook 2000 for Windows, Netscape Messenger 4.7, 6 and 7 for Windows, etc.

Outlook Express 5 and 6

1. Open a New Message window.
2. At the bottom of the window, click the Source tab. If the Source tab is not visible, from the View menu, select Source Edit.
3. Copy and Paste the "e-mail HTML" into the message area, replacing the default HTML that may be present.
4. Click on the Preview tab to test your content. If it does not play, most likely the ".class" files or content files have not been uploaded to the correct location on your web server.
5. Click on the Edit tab.
6. Address and send your e-mail in the normal fashion.

Netscape Messenger 4.7

1. Open a New Msg window.
2. Click on the Options button.
3. In the Format drop down box, select Plain Text and HTML.
4. Copy and Paste your "e-mail HTML" into the message area.
5. Unfortunately, Netscape Messenger modifies the HTML you insert, often rendering it inoperative. To verify and remedy this, in the Tools menu, select HTML Tools and Edit HTML Source. Edit out any extraneous information that has been added by Netscape Messenger.
6. Alternatively, you can enter your HTML directly into the HTML Edit window. Unfortunately, there is not any way to Copy and Paste your HTML directly into the HTML Edit window.
7. Click OK to close the Edit HTML window.
8. Address and Send your e-mail in the normal fashion.

Yahoo! Mail

1. Click on Compose.
2. Select the radio button "html tags allowed" below the message area.
3. Copy and paste the "e-mail HTML" into the message area.
4. Click on "html preview" below the message to test your content.
5. Address and send your message in the normal fashion.

Including Your Impaticized Content as an Attachment

If you know that you will be sending your translated presentation as an attachment to an e-mail, you have the option to select the "new Impatica file format (-imp.jar)" on the "Output Files" tab. Impatica for PowerPoint will then write out your impaticized content into a single, self executing .jar file that you can attach to an e-mail message. When the recipient of the message wishes to launch your presentation, they need only double click the Jar file and the presentation will play back automatically.
