Plain-text emails don't contain any images, rich-text formatting, or embedded hyperlinks, and are useful when you want to send a simple email featuring only your essential content.
We automatically create and send a plain-text version of your HTML email to recipients who prefer to receive them. But you can also create a plain-text-only email to send to specific groups, tags, segments, or to your entire audience.
In this article, you'll learn how to create a plain-text email.
Here are some things to know before you begin this process.
To track clicks in plain-text emails, we'll replace your links with trackings URLs that redirect your recipients to a page we can monitor before we send them to the site.
To create a plain-text email, follow these steps.
When you create a plain-text email in Mailchimp, we automatically include a default plain-text footer for you. Plain-text emails are subject to the same legal requirements as HTML emails, so we include our unsubscribe merge tag and the physical address associated with your audience. You can add or remove certain merge tags and other text, as long as you include the required footer content.
