Features of HTML message
- Not all email clients shows the background of your message, so it may be best to use a white background for your HTML message.
- Not all email clients can read HTML, so it's a good idea to include a text message. A message that includes both text and HTML is called multipart-alternative format; it ensures that recipients who can read HTML see only HTML, but those who cannot see the plain text message.
- Additional message header and footer information can be added to the message if enabled in Utilities > List Settings > Web Created Content > Insert Headers and Footers.
- You can include a link that recipients click to see the HTML message in a web browser. The tag %%url.mailing%% merges a unique link for each recipient which, takes the recipient to a fully merged version of the message. Also, archiving must be enabled for the list.
IMPORTANT
Javascript is not supported in the HTML Editor.
