I want to send out an Email to a list of recipients - hopefully from Word + Excel via Outlook.

What I want to do is have each Email customized with some HTML URLs, some of which are rendered, some of which are left as active HTML links.

For example;
Dear Person1, <img src="http://myserver/images/person1.gif" alt="Picture: person1" />
Please indicate your preference here:
<a href="http://myserver/response/person1?yes">Yes</a>
<a href="http://myserver/response/person1?no">No</a>
Thanks.

The first URL (picture) would be rendered, and thus the name and picture would just appear directly in the message.

The other URLs would however be active links in the message body, so the recipient could click on one of them and thus submit a response to my server.

An earlier query got responses that in Office 2007 and before this was not possible. Is it possible now with Office 2010?

Or, any other ideas on how to best do this?

Thanks.
