About the Plain Text Option for Campaigns
Some email recipients choose to accept only messages formatted in plain text as a security measure. When an email message is sent with HTML formatting to a Text-Only account, all the HTML formatting (including formatted font styles, HTML or graphic images) are stripped out, and only the plain text version of the message is included.
This plain text option will appear when creating or editing email messages using the WYSIWYG or Raw Text editor.
To create a plain text version of a campaign or email message:
- Navigate to the message in Campaigns
- Copy the message and paste it into the provided text field
- The Text Description of the message must be more than 50 characters in length
- The opt-out link (unsubscribe) message is automatically included, as it is with HTML formatted messages
