I am designing a newsletter using Adobe Indesign cs3. I am trying to email this newsletter to people in HTML format. How do I do that? Or is there another format I can convert it to (other than PDF) that EVERYONE I send it to will be able to open and read?

most people should have pdf viewer installed, you can export as jpegs but other than that there is no way, unless you imported the pdf into flash and made a booklet.

Html might work, but I don’t understand why you don’t want to export to PDF and send it that way, since it is essentially a universal format that anyone can open and read, either with Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is a free download, or various other options (such as Preview on the Mac.) The only other possibility might be .rtf (rich text format) but I don’t think ID does this, or if it does, you won’t preserve all the formatting you’ve done. PDF really is the best way to go.

The closest InDesign can do is export your content as XML. From there it can be converted to html with Dreamweaver, Coda or whatever you prefer to edit HTML with.
I haven’t tried it myself, but what you’re trying to do is one of the features in InDesign’s newest version.
