Just wanted to post a word of warning to folks using the newsletter function in the most recent 2.1.x…
Out of a list of about 1600 I got about 40 emails back stating that customers received a blank email body. This occurred even after I tested the email to my own account and viewed it in several mediums. This was an html email with no text equivalent (perhaps a text equivalent was necessary - it was a bit of a rush job) but the experience varying widely - from gmail to comcast to other folks who all receive other HTML emails normally. I got some messages stating that the html came through but there were no images also.
We have decided to go with Interspire’s email marketer as a more robust solution but I wanted to let folks know that either the module itself is malfunctioning or else more guidance and documentation is required in order manufacture a template that will survive the process.
Our present template is based off of MailChimp’s free templates. Perhaps there is a better source now - this was what we started working with in the past.
The new Mailchimp addon listed above has been released today. Please see this thread for details:
