Email Quotes - Text or Graphics?

there are a few things to consider when it comes to inboxing..

1. make sure your ip's (server) are whitelisted.
2. use spam assassin or the like, to check your spam score.
3. use "tokens" and many different links in your message if you decide to mass mail. major email providers will usually mark your email as spam if they see similar "footprints" throughout the message.

these are a few things that will help you inbox. that goes to say that it's not impossible to inbox with messages that have links/pictures in it.

in my experience, even if you add a picture/graphic on your message, the person who's receiving it will still have to click on the option that says "view images"

so i usually send plain text emails instead.

hope this helps..

Dealers debate whether price quote emails should use graphics/professional layouts or plain text, with concerns about spam filtering and mobile compatibility offsetting presentation benefits. The consensus recommendation is a balanced approach: PDFs offer the best solution as they bypass spam filters, display professionally on all devices, and can include attachments like window stickers, while plain text emails with minimal branding elements are safer than graphic-heavy designs. Key technical considerations include server whitelisting, spam score testing, and understanding that image-heavy emails often require recipients to manually enable image viewing anyway.
