Email Series- HTML or not?

1 replies
I started way back in 2005 using an autoresponder and remember having a choice of using HTML or plain text for your email series. I've been out of the business for a few years now and know that things have changed since I fooled around with it. I'm bored to death right now and am going to get back into email marketing and could use a little help.

So, my question is which format is better for your email series?
I still receive a lot of emails in pure text format about 72 chars per line. But lately I am getting emails that look like mini webpages. I have a slow internet connection and do not display any images in me emails and figure if I do that, that others do it too.

Also, with all these smart phones around, I would think that the text format would be better.
And no, I don't have a smart phone. In fact, I just got a regular cell phone a few months back from AARP that sits in my glove box for emergency purposes.)

Thanks for any suggestions!!

    I'd like HTML to makeup my email more attractive. People have option to show images if they want so you needn't hesitate to use HTML or plain text
