Cannot send HTML emails

[solejunkie]

First of all I am a NOOB! First day using TB and in this forum.

I have however spent more than 5 hrs looking up tutorials and info before asking this question.

I have created an HTML newsletter and put it on my site.
Here it is
http://solejunkie.com/newsletter/

All I want to do is to be able to send it thru Thunderbird to my Gmail or Yahoo so I can forward it.
I use a pc.

I have:
-Checked the settings numerous times
-made several accounts with different variations of the settings (from POP to IMAP)
-When I create the email I go to ...insert, html and copy n paste the code of the page above into this field.
-I have made several versions of the "newsletter" page above.

***I can...however, send regular text email. I tested that.... I can send and receive emails.

I don't know if I have a set up issue or what?

My friend was able to this really easily on a MAC. I recieved his email within seconds!

Can anyone please help or point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

You never said what happens when you try to send the HTML newsletter using Thunderbird.

Sorry about that....NOTHING happens! It just stays stuck in send mode. I let it sit for more than an hour and nothing happened.

Here is a screenshot:

Where are the images for that newsletter stored? Are they on the local drive, network drive, or elsewhere?

They are stored on my site...www.solejunkie.com
