To send a greeting card using Greetings Workshop Internet Delivery requires

these steps:
 
  1. Create your greeting card in Greetings Workshop.
 
  2. Start Greetings Workshop Internet Delivery to prepare the card for
     electronic delivery.
 
  3. When you reach the point in Internet Delivery where you are given the
     option to send the greeting, choose Exit instead of "Send Greeting by
     E-mail."
 
  4. Open your e-mail program, and address a new message to the recipient
     of the greeting.
 
  5. Insert the following instructions in your e-mail:
 
     NOTE: These instructions are the same even when you use a MAPI-
     compliant e-mail program.
