GroupMail allows senders to include an automatically generated text version of their HTML message or a custom text-only message part for those recipients who prefer text-only format. If you create a text-only part for your message, then that portion will display only when recipients have their email clients set to view text-only format.

More importantly, the text will display to antispam filters who check the image/HTML to text ratio. Adding a text-only part to your HTML message will help to satisfy this criteria of antispam filters.

To create a text-only portion for your next email campaign, simply click on the Plain Text Message Part tab at the bottom of GroupMail’s message editor when composing your message.

GroupMail Plain Text Message Part

Here, you can select to have GroupMail auto-generate a text version or create your own custom text version which is neatly formatted for text-only recipients.
