I look at the newsletter going to mail.yahoo.com and read it, it is awful. I use thunderbird to download it and it looks perfect. I go to AOL it looks perfect. If yahoo is forwarded it looks perfect. So it seems to a webmail issue.
The server where the newsletters are currently being sent is not compatible with XP because he hasn't had time to load the program he purchased. (we are going to change the way we send newsletters, but haven't figured out which way is best since it is a large list).
Any suggestions?
1. do not use ANY CSS, use font tags and thats it.
2. do not use anything in the <head></head> tags. Many web based clients (like hotmail) strip anything out that appears outside of <body> tags.
3. Insert all image width and height properties in every image tag, so even if they dont show the sizes will retain.
4. Url Escape as many characters as you can. Use for spaces, > for ">", etc. this will help with the characters thing.
5. THink about using a Compact Privacy Policy, this helps isp's whitelist you and is good for the browser clients as well as they generally look to these for confirmation that you are legit.
