However, if HTML email is still kicking, then egregious HTML email errors are running, stomping, crashing and charging into your inboxes with as much force as their marketing savvy counterparts. What follows are some of the worst email mistakes I’ve seen—bad messaging, poor design, unclean lists, you name it.

I try not to use HTML when sending out a customer list because some mail clients have HTML turned off and the tags show when looking at the emails.So better stick to basic text!
