How can I create plain text emails within 'Campaign Builder'? I can't see a way to turn off HTML.
It is possible to create plain text emails within the 'Templates' interface. But that interface differs from the one within 'Campaign Builder' and strangely, it is not possible to import a plain text email from 'Templates' into 'Campaign Builder'. It is, however, possible to import a HTML email though.
Can someone explain why this is or how to create plain text emails for use within 'Campaign Builder'?
Thank you.

"Note that pure, plain text emails are not available in the campaign builder. And, plain text emails cannot be tracked for open rates."

The automated outlook emails using pywin32 and plain HTML were great till people started using it for forwarding and reply, Once you forward all the HTML formats are getting stripped and the borders of the table suddenly disappears. The way around is to go to your outlook settings and disable the option "Reduce message size by removing format information not necessary for the message".
The question is how to format the email so that it wont be lost when forwarded and make the format information necessary for the message ?
I have found out a work around though, It is observed that outlook is stripping of those styles which are defined in style block, If the styles are defined embedded in tags its escaping the stripping. As of now I have taken this approach
I want a signature on Outlook that has a section to say "Click here", and upon doing so, displays more text.
I thought about hyperlinking to a separate signature with the desired text, but can't link to the necessary multiple files, and I don't think the recipient would have access to the second signature files unless they were somehow stored in the email.
Is there any possible way of doing this?
Sorry but I do not think this can be done in other ways except linking "Click here" to an external source (url) where the content is displayed.
Outlook (and email in general) has various limitations in terms of markup support so there is no way of achieving exactly what you want here.
I'm building webmail with PhpMailer.
I need advice about replaying to other email.
How to attach previous email? Should I simply attach it as a file - I think it's not good.
I prefer attach email text, but how? Using only blockquote? But what about previous mail's styles? I see in thunderbird blockquote with cite="mid:hash" attribute. What is it?
Maybe PhpMailer has some options regarding this?
It's generally pretty straightforward. Read this about how to deal with the headers (use addCustomHeader to set them) so that mail clients can identify it as a reply.
There's no particular standard for what to do with the body, though it's common to copy all the lines of the original body into the new message, preceded by >, though you could wrap it in a blockquote in HTML, or some other formatting. It's up to you what you do with attachments.
I am using a Transport Rule in Exchange Server 2010 to append some HTML to the end of our company emails. This is working just fine when an email is sent out as HTML. When the message is plain text, the HTML and images are converted into [links] and it looks a mess.
Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to append an HTML message at the end of HTML emails, and a different layout for plain text emails? Failing that, can I get it to simply ignore the rule if the message isn't in HTML?
Thank you
I have discovered that the only way to achieve what I was after is by using a 3rd party add-on. So the answer to the question really is "no" for both parts!
3rd party tools like Symprex or Exclaimer may help people out in a similar situation.
I am developing a web app that sends out emails. Currently, all emails have a HTML part.
Questions:
Is it important to include a text part also?
Do you include both?
Is just removing all the tags from the HTML message and adding a few line breaks good enough to create a text part from the HTML part?
Thanks, Kevin
Is it Important to include a text part also? It's a best practice to provide a plain text version of the email. However, in my opinion and in this day and age, I would guess that it is not such a big deal to leave it out. However, if you know more about your recipients' email clients (eg: if you're sending the emails in a corporate environment and everyone uses a particular email client), then you can determine how necessary it really is.
Do you include both? The .net framework (which I use) provides an AlternateView class (MSDN) that allows you to easily specify copies of an email in different formats. It makes things very easy to include a plain text version of the email. Perhaps you can find something similar in apache/php.
Is just removing all the tags from the HTML message and adding a few line breaks good enough to create a text part from the HTML part? Technically, yes but be VERY CAREFUL here. A complex HTML layout that has been converted to plain text will look absolutely terrible if all you do is remove HTML tags and pile the content together. It really depends on your content and how much you can do to manipulate said content. Also, take a look at Campaign Monitor'ssuggestions for formatting plain text emails.
One final word of advice for you HTML emails to test, test, and then test some more. When you're finished testing, test again. HTML emails will render differently in different email clients and, if some of your recipients are using Microsoft Word 2007/2010 then you can forget about web standards. I urge you to take a look at Campaign Monitor's Guide to CSS support in email.
