In May, Gmail decided to change things up a bit, which threw a wrench in email marketer codes. Similar to other issues with providers like Hotmail, Gmail’s change caused images that were split into two or more sections. Not the end of the world, however it’s an obvious mistake and ends up making you look bad! Not good.
So here is the super simple way to to fix it: for every image tag, add style=”display:block;”. For example
*img src=”photo.jpg” style=”display:block;”*
Done! This post may seem a little behind the times, as the change was made two months ago, but I am still receiving emails from big name companies that haven’t adopted the simple change, yet, so the threat that your images will render with big white lines through them is still very real. Beware!
