Not to brag or boast but I am well versed in the matter. If you saw my very first post (after years of absence), I said I intend to reinvigorate the board, relative to posts where we can all learn something, as opposed to advertisements (basically, spam). That's how it used to be 10 years or so ago.

At any rate, I posted this to get others points of view on the topic. In the end, we all learn. IMHO, if I were to list mine, then it might be the end of the thread as I might end up listing everything that's out there. On the contrary, when others post, as is my style, I will chime in to either add and/or dispute. Again, in the end, we all learn a thing or two.

As to what I mean by HTML emails, I mean the emails you send out that have images, formatted text, etc. This is as opposed to emails that are strictly text. HTML emails add a level of interactivity and is more pleasant to the eye, IMHO.

Oya, let's hear what you have to say after you've done your research.

I hope and trust we are all using responsive web design (RWD) for our web projects. Given that everything is going mobile these days (and smart TV as well), it only makes sense that we take the RWD route. How about our HTML emails? Are we still using the standard templates or are we also RWD in this regard? Regardless of your approach, let's discuss the pros and the cons and what approach you prefer/implement...

Responsive HTML emails are actually the standard these days. The trend is to design for mobile first as most people view their emails on their mobile phone especially in our market where 83% access the Internet from mobile.
You will need to test really well though as different email clients interpret the codes in different ways and Gmail just dumps your email under the "Promotions" tab which no one really cares to open.
The open rate is also generally higher for responsive emails as opposed to the standard HTML emails.
The only thing that annoys me though is why we have to use tables for layout in HTML emails. If you use Divs and style it, email clients generally strip off your CSS, even when you use inline CSS sometimes.
