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.
