For E-Newsletters (including CSS...)

Hi,

For my e-newsletter I would like executed by MailChimp, do I simply copy all
my CSS script and paste directly under the <BODY> tag in the HTML of the
newsletter, HTML page itself?
Can you verify that that is the correct method?
(Oh! when it says "under the body tag" does that really mean, within the
confines of: <BODY> </BODY> ??)
Finally, I was reading that you should always include a plain text version of
the newsletter. Does this simply mean I create a Notepad file in which I paste
all the text of the newsletter within? -- Also, do I submit that as a separate
file along with the full, HTML file to the service provider & they take care of
it from there? Is that how that aspect works?

Thanks Much!!
Christine

Yes.

Yes - I just did! As Tom notes, though, using the styles inline would also
be a good method.

You paste it into the Text part of the Campaign setup.
