What's a quick, easy way to send HTML emails to myself to test them?

Tags:

I've been given the task of optimizing HTML emails for different email/webmail clients. I used to test the HTML file by doing a trick in Outlook Express, to make it send the raw HTML, but Microsoft seems to have stopped supplying Outlook Express now (I think "Live Mail" is supposed to replace it).

So my question is, is there a simple, quick way to send HTML emails? Maybe even a freeware program that does the job?

How can I send HTML email to myself?

View your rendered html in a web browser (like a web page), then ctrl+a select the entire page then ctrl+c copy and ctrl+v paste that rendered html result into the body of your email. Doesn't get any easier than that... Just note that your images need to be hosted if you want the recipient to see them.
