I need to create a company internal newsletter and I would like to make it interactive, such as adding custom made buttons that click to show/hide more info. Also need to show photos and maybe animated giffs. I don’t know ‘flash’ but I know ‘Photoshop’. Also, do you know of any websites that offer examples? Thank you for your time.

What you want to do is fairly complex and would require extensive HTML / script coding experience.
That said, the way you make an HTML e-mail letter with images is to basically have your images, etc. stored on a Web server that allows hotlinking.
For example, suppose you company’s Web server is located at and you store your newsletter images in a folder named newsletter.
Then, if this was the HTML text of your newsletter, you would be able to see the images:
Newsletter
Hello World!
This is our new newsletter. Hope you like it.
In other words, you simply edit the body text of your newsletter to be in HTML, using absolute addressing for all links, then send that to the recipients.
