			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/email-campaign-preview_800x6001.jpg" title="Email Campaign Preview"><img src="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/email-campaign-preview_800x6001.jpg" alt="Email Campaign Preview" align="right" border="0" height="244" hspace="5" vspace="0" width="220" /></a>We&#8217;ve just enabled a slew of new preview screens in our <a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/add-ons/inboxinspector/" title="MailChimp campaign preview">Inbox Inspector</a> tool.  For those of you who don&#8217;t know, MailChimp lets you easily preview how your email campaign will look in<strong> 34 different email readers</strong>, with images turned on, images turned off, within vertical preview panes, or horizontal preview panes.</p>
<p>You just click a button, and we do all the hard work for you.</p>
<p>Now you can see what your HTML email will look like on mobile devices too, like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Blackberry</li>
<li>Windows Mobile 5</li>
<li>Windows Mobile 6</li>
</ul>
<p>and in more ISPs around the globe, like UK, France, Brazil, Germany, and Japan.</p>
<p><span id="more-823"></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s kind of interesting to see that an HTML email that renders like this in Gmail:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/preview-image-gmail.jpeg" title="email preview in gmail"><img src="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/preview-image-gmail.jpeg" alt="email preview in gmail" border="0" height="353" hspace="0" vspace="5" width="230" /></a></p>
<p>renders like this in Tiscali UK&#8217;s webmail client (check out where the scroll line is on a 1024&#215;768 screen):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/email-render-tiscali.png" title="email-render-tiscali.png"><img src="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/email-render-tiscali.png" alt="email-render-tiscali.png" border="0" height="311" hspace="0" vspace="5" width="331" /></a></p>
<p>And if a recipient has their Outlook 2003 preview pane set to vertical (the default setting), this is all they see:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/outlook-vertical-preview-pane.jpeg" title="outlook-vertical-preview-pane.jpeg"><img src="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/outlook-vertical-preview-pane.jpeg" alt="outlook-vertical-preview-pane.jpeg" border="0" vspace="5" /></a></p>
<p>If they have their preview pane set to horizontal, they only see this:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/preview-your-emails-on-mobile-screens-and-30-email-readers/835/" rel="attachment wp-att-835" title="outlook-2003-horizontal-preview.jpeg"><img src="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/outlook-2003-horizontal-preview.jpeg" alt="outlook-2003-horizontal-preview.jpeg" border="0" height="77" hspace="0" vspace="5" width="429" /></a></p>
<p>and my email design reverts to the plain-text version on Windows Mobile 5 (where&#8217;d my pizza graphic go?!?):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/windows-mobile5.jpeg" title="windows-mobile5.jpeg"><img src="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/windows-mobile5.jpeg" alt="windows-mobile5.jpeg" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="5" /></a></p>
<p>but on Windows Mobile 6, it shows HTML email with images (but turned off by default):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/windows-mobile6.jpg" title="windows-mobile6.jpg"><img src="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/windows-mobile6.jpg" alt="windows-mobile6.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Another interesting thing is how Lotus Notes (still not dead, and still important for corporate users) messes up my HTML email:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/html-email-lotus.jpg" title="Lotus Notes html email rendering"><img src="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/html-email-lotus.jpg" alt="Lotus Notes html email rendering" border="0" height="334" width="348" /></a></p>
<p>My fonts in the body somehow switched to times new roman,  table cells have strange borders, and some table cell bgcolors are not working. Thanks, Lotus!</p>
<p><strong>Spam Score</strong></p>
<p>We&#8217;ll also tell you what your overall spam score is with all the major spam filters (like Spam Assassin, Norton, McAfee, Outlook, Brightmail, Postini, MessageLabs, and IronPort):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/spam-score.jpg" title="spam-score.jpg"><img src="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/spam-score.jpg" alt="spam-score.jpg" border="0" height="293" vspace="5" width="275" /></a></p>
<p>But we don&#8217;t just give you your score. We pinpoint the exact words in your content that could work against you in some spam filters.</p>
<p>I learned that the word &#8220;occasional&#8221; has a higher spam score than &#8220;free:&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/spam-words.jpg" title="spam-words.jpg"><img src="http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/spam-words.jpg" alt="spam-words.jpg" border="0" height="385" hspace="0" vspace="5" width="342" /></a></p>
