The Internet Marketing Tips e-mails will be in plain text, and all the content will be included in the e-mail. This way I am doing both, I am doing the html (but as a separate page) and I am doing the plain text.

For some reason my email client (Thunderbird) has decided that it doesn't like HTML email anymore. It'll display either a blank page or just some text links that aren't clickable. Test email is just fine. I also understand that there are some security concerns with HTML email? Thanks for a great blog Hi,

Your read struck a cord with me. For some reason my email client (Thunderbird) has decided that it doesn’t like HTML email anymore. It’ll display either a blank page or just some text links that aren’t clickable.

Test email is just fine.

I also understand that there are some security concerns with HTML email?

Thanks for a great blog

Just take a little bit more time and include a plain text version. no good reason to miss out on the advantages of html in most cases. big jason certified email marketing professional hey rosalind,

I would definitely not recommend letting this setback turn you to text only newsletters. Just take a little bit more time and include a plain text version.

no good reason to miss out on the advantages of html in most cases.

Aweber has definitely become the standard autoresponder for use by Internet marketers and is the one I've been using for the last 10 years... and yes, I've tried most of the other 'big names' out there. I personally find Aweber is the best of the best, and yes, like any other service, there is a learning curve involved. However Aweber does a FANTASTIC job with video tutorials and support. Cheers, Ros Hi Carl,

I also now send out a text email using aweber sending my readers to the online version of the newsletter. I give them todays topics and off we go. Works much better I think than the html/text. But then...I've never tested it with my list. Oops. Human readable note indeed!

What I do is I send a plain text e-mail, where I just use a few sentences about the newsletter and then end it with a link to the newsletter. My newsletter is online as a regular website. I am not sure if this is how you should be doing it, but so far I haven't heard any complaints - well, some have been unsubscribing, but I think that might be because my content really suck :-) I am also using Aweber to send my newsletters.
