Hello Warriors,

By no means am I an HTML expert, it is more of a hobby of mine. Anyway my father asked me to create him a HTML email for his business that he would use to send out to clients as a receipt of purchase for his service. I used the whole "code like its 1996" mantra and used tables, in-line styling etc. However, when he sends the email it ends up in the person's spam box, obviously rendering the point of the email useless. Is there something I can add to the header to prevent this from happening? Or perhaps structuring the email differently?

    Explain to your father the error in his bright idea that makes it a bad idea. Unless he finds a way to force his customers to whitelist the sender of the emails what he sends will go to spam most of the time.
