    Posted: 26 January 2006 at 3:39pm

Recently, I have started sending out e-newsletters to clients using a mass mailing program. 

I tested the e-newsletter with several mailing clients (Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo, Pegasus mail, Eudora, Mozilla Thunderbird) and it appears fine.  I was informed that images in were unable to display in GMail.


Any information about mailing programs, or how each mailing client handles an e-newsletter would be much appreciated.

How do you send you e-mails?

Are the images on an external site or embedded in the e-mail?

Do you want a gmail account so you can test it yourself?

I use Outlook 2003, and images are turned off by default.
Takes an extraordinary email for me to turn them on - lol.

Yeah, I've been running with images off for a couple of years now. Haven't missed a thing.  50-75% of the images in newsletters I subscribe to are tracking adds.

I turn images on for specific emails maybe once or twice a week but I think one of these days, I'm just going to turn off html and view everything in text.

I subscribe to quite a few newsletters, and I like the HTML formatted ones best. They are the easiest to read. I'm beyond caring about being tracked if the content is good and I like the newsletter. That just helps them out, and I get good info in return. It's not a big deal.

But for other stuff, I don't use images in email.

When I send newsletters, I try to embed the images so that they display without being pulled from a server. This helps them to look better for people.

Tests have shown that HTML emails get higher response rates.
