Here are some resources I have found useful regarding email newsletters. Some of these
seem to have some nice advice about how to test, how to aid user interaction too:
Basically, avoid floats, use tables, use inline styles.
Also, on OS X, if you can save the source of email newsletters sent to you as an html file (Cmd-Opt-U -- select the html portion), edit it to your liking, open it in Safari, then Cmd-I Cmd-Shift-T (Format - Make Rich Text if plain text is default) to send it as an unmodified HTML email from Mail app.
> Basically, avoid floats, use tables, use inline styles.
Yeah, that's what I was finding too -- and that advice is pretty much incompatible with the "responsive email templates" offered in the OP, no? That's what I'm wondering about.
