I have written a system that sends HTML marketing emails to a list of opted-in subscribers.
A significant number of those subscribers are BlackBerry users – and my emails look horrible on them… aside from the layout problems with the smaller screen, the message gets truncated at a certain length, and some images don’t get displayed at all.
I am unfamiliar with the eccentricities of BB email – so could you please fill me in on what restrictions BB email has that I need to take into consideration when designing a template for the BB users?
Sending your email newsletter to a Blackberry
What can you do? As a sender, you have a few options:
Ask your subscribers to enable HTML email on their Blackberries
Create a sub-list of Blackberry users, and send them only plain-text emails
Have us a create a “Mobile Version” link at the top of your emails
Put your most important text at the top of the email
