| I'm working on a side project that sends out daily/weekly email reports. I'm working in C# and using Mailgun[0] to send email, but I'm unsure of how to approach designing HTML email templates. My concerns: - Inconsistency across email clients. - Is there a tool to inline CSS styles (since stylesheets are not allowed in gmail)? - Displaying bar graphs. I thinkg my options are either doing this with tables/divs or to generate an image of the graph to avoid inconsistent formatting. - The email reports will also be web pages. How do I avoid UI duplication? I'd appreciate any suggestions and/or shared experience! [0] https://mailgun.com |

For testing, either use Campaign Monitor for $5/test (across all the clients) -- https://www.campaignmonitor.com/
They repackage Litmus testing which is ~ $80/mo -- https://litmus.com/
To inline CSS there are lots of options, but this is a nice, free utility: http://putsmail.com/
Overall designing HTML emails sucks. It will take 10x more time than you think.
