Hi,

II would like to know which of the plain text or Html

Hi Eric,

the Advantage of text is:

- more people can handle it with their mail client
- they trust it more than HTML messages (spammers mostly use HTML only messages)
- your message is pure - only the message you want to bring over

The advantage of HTML is:

- you can check the open rate
- you have more possibilities to design your message
- you can make hyperlinks with differnt link text

I have decided to use HTML now, because the advantage to test my open rate is a great benefit to me.

Their editor is ok for me.

I don't know if you want to do some fancy stuff there, but you can see a preview of your mails of test and send them to yourself.
