Re: Email newsletters: HTML vs plaintext quandry

you might check out some HTML mail styling guides. Not all mail clients (Outlook 2003/webmail) has the same support for HTML tags.

You can find an extensive list of things to check out at http://www.anandgraves.com/html-email-guide

Ok HTML it is, the provider also allows a plain text alternative version to be sent with it.

I tried putting together a nice 2-column layout, but it doesn't render that well in email clients. So I'm dropping back to a simple single column design without images.

There's 2,000 people on my list so if it doesn't work well I guess I'll be hearing about it :)

According to what I've read for best delivery to the most inboxes, email newsletters are best sent as both HTML and text. I kind of like to have both - the text version can't cloak links as easily.
