In addition to HTML, extra care should be taken for plain text rendering as well. Many users disable HTML and images to minimize tracking and malware. I'd definitely prefer a well formated plain text email with the option of viewing in the browser or email client if desired.

- erichurkman 7y agoMost ESPs offer some kind of html -> text rendering. Most suck. Mandrill's was OK, and so far, so has Postmark. But nothing beats a hand crafted text template.
