Formatting Autoresponder Messages

Have you received emails that were all broken up?

These emails have one or two words on one line,

then eight or ten words on the next line. In some

cases, one word begins on one line and ends on the

next. These emails are very hard to read, and they

appear to be very unprofessional. Is this what you

want your autoresponder email messages to look

like?

If not, you need to learn how to format your

messages. Start by reading the instructions for your

specific autoresponder. Each one operates a bit

differently in the way that it handles text. For

instance, some autoresponder messages will be

messed up if you do put a ‘hard line break’ at the

end of each line, while others will be messed up if

you don’t! Find out what the right option is for your

autoresponder!

Because each email client is different, you should

not allow any line in your message to exceed 65

characters. This will help prevent lines from breaking

up, and it is achieved by hitting the ‘enter’ key at

the end of each sixty-five character line. The best

way to be sure that your autoresponder messages

are delivered in the correct format is to send them

to yourself, before you send them to your list!
