How to build email html on Dreamweaver?

Do I have to have other programs such as Illustrator or Photoshop if I have Dreamweaver but don't know coding such as html and CSS? What are other programs I can use to create a simple email html?

Thank you.

    you can use this HTML in dreamweaver code view to create an email link:

    <a href="mailto:someone@yoursite.com">Email Us</a>

    but this will only open the default Mail client, which is useless if your on a public computer.

    If you want to be able to have people email you straight from the webpage, i would use a PHP mail script. Although it is very easy to accomplish it is a bit more challenging to understand if your a beginning web designer.

    PHP mail function

    http://us.php.net/function.mail

    add a script like this to your page, make sure your server can handle php(Most do) and save the page as "yourpage.php" not "yourpage.html" or the php wont work

    I use BlueVoda, and to do what you want, we create a form, put the boxes need for the responses we need, then after building the rest of the page publish. Now when someone enters data in that form, it gets sent to directly were I set it to go, be my email or to a database. The problem though, for you, I do not know if Dreamweaver can build forms. Nor can BlueVoda work nowhere outside VodaHost's servers. Too bad.

    You don't need anything else. Just build an html page in Dreamweaver in design view. You won't need css knowledge. Dreamweaver will add any css code it needs. Switch to code view to copy the html code and paste it into your email.

    If you need to create custom graphics for your email, then you will need an image editing program. No need to get anything as powerful as Photoshop or Illustrator though.
