HTML Support in Email Clients

Facing the Acid Test: HTML Support in Email Clients

When designing HTML newsletters, it is important to take into account the different levels of HTML support among email clients. The Email Standards Project, which works with email client developers and the design community to improve web standards support in email, has tested the most popular desktop and webmail clients. The results of the acid test highlight several solid email clients but also demonstrate that inconsistent rendering is still a major problem.

LISTSERV Maestro Tech Tip

Q: I have several jobs that I would like to compare without having to run a separate report for each job. Is there an easier way to do this?

Answer by Holly Taylor
Technical Writer, L-Soft

LISTSERV Maestro's Job comparison reports allow you to dynamically compare the tracking events for two or more jobs (up to 12 jobs can be included). Job comparison reports enable you to compare separate standard jobs or to compare the variants of an A/B-Split Job, helping you figure out the best variant for the job.
