Make emails look plain text, but still track opens

Hi there,

I was disappointed that I’m unable to track plain text email opens.

In lieu of this I am hoping that it’s easy to make an email look like a plain text. Does anyone have insights there?

Appreciate help on this.

You remove all images from any template and left-justify the content block.

Shoot me a DM if you need more clarification.

Hello matt, how do you do this please? I am struggling to find how you left justify in a content block. Does this mean you can’t have images in emails like this? I am trying to make my emails look like regular emails but still include an image from time to time. thanks

Hi @soulseeker,

While I am not Matt, perhaps I can help. :blush:
To left-justify a text block, you can either click on the Alignment icon in the top menu bar:
Email-Designer-LeftJustifyexample1
or sent the Alignment in the options bar on the right of the screen:
Email-Designer-LeftJustifyexample2

In terms of images, no, you cannot include images if you want to emulate a text-only email. Now, you can of course include images in your emails, as these are not truly text-only, but if you are looking to send a text-only email or are sending to a contact who cannot receive HTML emails, then you should not include any images.

I hope that helps and makes sense.

Hello Zephi01

I’m looking for more than left alignment of the text in its block.
I would like to have the block left aligned in the email itself.
To have a design that looks like a normal email.

Do you know how I can do that ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback

Hello @simonbands,

As far as I know, the only way you could do that is by modifying the CSS directly.
To do this, click on the “Code” icon in the top right-hand side of the designer:
image

Then, change line 2 to align="Left":

I do suggest you test it carefully, especially how it then displays on a mobile device, but hopefully that helps.

Yeah !!! It works very well !!

Thanks a lot !
