That's actually something we haven't managed to figure out why that happens. I'm no expert in email optimization, but I can't figure out why Google insists on marking our welcome email as spam. Is it something in the wording? If anybody here knows more about getting email past spam filters, I'd love some advice!



The html to text ratio is a bit high. I would suggest sticking with a plaintext email for now.

If you stick with html, make sure it validates. The font tag's 'face' attribute doesn't look legal as it is.


Hmm thanks for the tip, I'll try switching to plaintext. I wish we hadn't wasted so much time building an HTML template now.
