How Does Multi-Part Work?

You might be asking yourself: "How can some list members see the HTML version and some see the text version?"

When Sparklist sends a multi-part email it includes both the text and HTML versions in the same email message, with special codes to separate the two.

If list members use software that can display HTML, it will detect the special encoding and display only the HTML portion of the message. If not, the software will display the text version instead.
