Best Practices
- Use inline styles - Most email clients don't support
<style>tags - Keep width under 600px - Standard email width
- Test across clients - Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail behave differently
- Provide plain text - Some clients prefer it
- Use web-safe fonts - Or provide fallbacks
- Include Preview component - Improves inbox appearance
- Add alt text - Images may be blocked
