Help a tech illiterate

[mburbank]

Youy know those jjunk emails you get that are rich with pictures and photos and borders and look as if you are looking at a web page but it's just an email?

I need to know how to make those.

I need to create an inhouse monthly newsletter for RD&P at the Boston Museum of Science. I would like to distribute it as an email, but one that looks like a flashy, glossy magazine, except it's an email.

I do not want to make a website or webzine. I have speciffically been tasked with creating an email newsletter.

Ideally, I would need to know of a tool for doing this, and an on-line manual for using it.
