Scot's Mailing list / Outgoing Messages / Sample HTML Message

Sample HTML Message

This is a very basic message with an image header and some text information under it. It contains several tokens that you could use in your own message, with explanations to explain what they are for.

Notes

  • Graphics won't show up unless you use the full path/location:
    <img src="http://scotsscripts.com/media/logo.jpg">
    instead of
    <img src="media/logo.jpg">
  • Notice the use of the %easylink% token. You can create link reports very easily this way. Find out which links in your email are the most popular.
  • The %unsubscribe% token will insert an unsubscribe link that can be customized in the unsubscribe spot in the custom mailing list messages (click on mailing lists then on custom messages).
  • The %tracker% token will insert an image call that is used for message opening reports. Only recipients with images turned on will be tracked. There isn't anything you can do about this, so message tracking reports should be used only to get a broad idea of that information.
