Hi Lori. There are a number of ways to define font size, from the old HTML 1-7 scale, to ems, percentages, and more. In order to ensure a consistent rendering (or as consistent as possible) use pixels to define your font sizes. You should add your font size definition as inline CSS to the HTML tag that contains your text. Pixel definitions are static so they should render the same size in web or desktop based email clients alike.

For more information you can drop me an email at support@infacta.com and I would be happy to provide more information about HTML email.

I know email clients view text differently depending on the supported styles but how can I get the most consistent size and font? When I send an email to outlook the text size is small and when it goes to another it is larger and another the font isn’t supported. I use only common fonts and try to keep the size somewhere in the middle. Is there a general rule or a way to use percentages like you can do with images in websites to keep the email more consistent with all the email recipients?
Thanks

Hi Simon. What are you creating your HTML email in? Are you designing in GroupMail’s own WYSIWYG message editor or are you designing externally and importing into GroupMail?

Hi
I’ve been a little frustrated over the weekend with GroupMails failure to include background images (why offer it as a feature?) so I’ve been doing a bit of googling – will the following solutions work?

Hi Richard. Yes, you can create any number of sender identities in GroupMail. See my blog post below for details. Optimizing the From Field for Your Email Campaigns I hope this helps.

@kp Yes there does seem to be a couple of issues with the encoding, I will email you on a download link when we have something that sorts out the problem so that you can verify it’s working

@richard sorry, didn’t see your queries, I’ll drop you an email

@Jozsef we are working on the HTML Source Editor at the moment, we’re aiming to implement source code highlighting, save/restore windows size, position as well as other settings, all going well these should be included in the next release

Just a note:
It would be very confortable, if the html source editor hold the previous size of it. I must every time expand it, because window is too small, when opened.

Thanks, Jozsef
