Question...HTML Emails

[Puggle]

How easy is it to create a best buy/circuit city like email to be sent out to people.  Basically the email would contain many images that when clicked on would take the user to the product to purchase on the website.  I created a mock email of what I want it to look like through Photoshop.  I was assuming I could image map it, which I did and works fine but how would I email an image map out to the public?  Or is there an easier way to do this?

Images have to be linked....
What email program do you use?

You can use php to send out mass emails (html and plain text). Most spammers use this method because it's cheap and easy. You're not trying to start spamming people are you?
I really don't recommend using an image map. Some people don't have html enabled for their inbox. They wouldn't be able to see anything, in that case.
Best thing to do is to use as much text as possible, and less images. The message will load faster that way too.
