Html Email Problem

by fearlesspioneer
6 replies
I sent a broadcast html email to 3 of my own email accounts for a test. 1 gmail account, 1 hotmail account and 1 yahoo account.

The email had 3 paragraphs and an image. I want to see whether the email can be correctly displayed in the 3 different email accounts. But the result was disappointing. Only the email sent to hotmail looked good. The format was good and the image could be seen.

For the gmail, the image in the mail couldn't be seen. I know that gmail automatically block the images in email, so I clicked the "display images below" link. But the image still could not be seen.

For the yahoo mail, there was no space between paragraphs. It looks ugly.

I don't know the reason. It's the same html code, but why there were 3 different results in the accounts? How can I fix the problem?

    It sounds like gmail and yahoo stripped out the html by default thus why you were no seeing the image nor the paragraph breaks.

    Post the actual html code you used here as it may be part of the problem.

    Thank you for your reply. This is the code:

    <p>paragraph1</p>
    <p>paragraph2</p>
    <p>paragraph3</p>
    <p><img src="the link for the img" alt="" /></p>

    This site HTML Mail - Send HTML Emails Online should allow you to send html e-mails in a format where the html will not be stripped out. Alternatively there are different broadcasting plugins which may be better suited to your needs. Are you sending mail on behalf of a website? What did you use to build your website?

      Yes I send mail on behalf of a website. It is a wordpress blog.

    Maybe try something like this:

    <p>This is first paragraph</p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>This is second paragraph</p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>This is third paragraph</p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p><img src="http://www.imageurl.com" alt="Alt Text" width="100" height="100"></p>
