[Design with CSS 1797] Re: HTML Email Testing

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 10:36:50 -0700

I use campaignmonitor.com to send my emails and they offer a service just like browsershots but for the email. It tests how it looks across emails clients and how it will react to spam filters. They charge $5 a pop to use it. I don't know though if they offer this as a stand alone product. You would probably have to get an account and send the campaign through them. Not a bad idea though if you don't already have a service to send it or this feature might be important enough for you to switch.

Here is the page on it: http://campaignmonitor.com/testing/

you can't interact with the pages.
The only way is to have as many browsers you can.

I usually test my pages primary under GNU/Linux with Debian Iceweasel
(Firefox port), and then on Opera 9 and Konqueror (that uses KHTML,
the engine from where webkit, witch safari uses, is based).
Also I do some testes on Windows, with MSIE6, MSIE7 and Safari for
Windows, under a virtual machine (Qemu).

This may b enough for testing pages and fix it to correct render in
every common browser. The most used browsers today are Firefox, MSIE7
and Safari, I think. Testing it in Opera is a plus.

I usually make testes in Elinks also, to check if the page fits well
on text-based browsers, and sometimes without CSS, for old-ones.

I need to troubleshoot a an HTML Email that is breaking in Eudora,
which apparently somebody uses somewhere.  Does anyone know of
something I can test this on similar to http://browsershots.org/?

I usually would blow this type of request off, but it is for a HUGE
client, so I have to do due dilligence.

Grazie
