HTML E-MAIL

Adobe Illustrator, MacroMedia Freehand, Adobe Photoshop
(must be a layered file).


- No external or inline style sheets.
- No frames, page anchors, script or div tags allowed.
- Some mail agents ignore bgcolor attribute in the body tag.
- So, specify bgcolor in a (td) table cell.
- Use absolute links only.
- Include unsubscribe instructions.
- Always include accompanying TEXT version (2K-8K).
- Total file size including images and html must not exceed more than 50K in size.
*See below for details on html size limitations.


*QPED, the limit is about 40K total, meaning with multipart-MIME, the 40K is allocated to both the TEXT and HTML version. Typical TEXT is between 2K-8K, leaving 32K-38K for HTML. With Beacon3, the file size has inverse correlation with the send rate. The bigger the file size, the slower B3 will send. Right now, there is a size restriction to about 10K, but Dev is working on getting this up to par with QPED. Basically size should be as small as possible.
