Hi.

The corporate html e-mails you recieve daily in your inbox, how are they created? You know, a nice looking newsletter with smooth layout and and graphics.

I could easily create such layouts in html, but fact is, that html mails is interpreted very differently based on the e-mail client. And only basic html/css is allowed. Furthermore, if the html structure contains a not 100% ok tag, or the structure is somewhat not 100% correctly, the mail could end in the spam folder.

So how do they create those html emails, which often are mobile friendly?

I´ve been looking for some time now, but havent really found anything obvious.
Do you guys know how to create those mails?

Thank you in advance :)

You could use something like Constant Contact for a fee. Or if you use Windows Azure as a hosting provider you can use SendGrid which comes with 20,000 emails per month as a free account, you still have to develop your email template and write the code to send/receive emails.

There are likely 3rd party mailing solutions that you can purchase that will help you design them. However, there is no magic. You just have to do it. :)
