Teh head of the remplate is like

<html>
<head>
 <title>Newsletter from blabla</title>
 <meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
</head>
<body marginheight="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" bgcolor="#FFF3E0" leftmargin="0" style="background-color: #FFF3E0;">

<table style="background-color: #FFF3E0;"> 

When it is imported into Firemail and sent to above code looks like

<p>
 <title></title>
</p>
<p>
 <meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
</p>
<table style="background-color: #FFF3E0;"> 

Also end of /body and /html are gone.

It’s EE 2.5.3 and FireMail 1.8.2, tested in Chrome and FF.

they are stripped out by the wysiwyg editor but regardless of that html, head and body tags should never be used in emails.

I am a bit confused. HTML Newsletter I receive from other ressources do have those tags. All newsletter templates you can get, free or bought, have those tags.

In an other old install of FireMail (1.7 something) I have almost the same code and there it goes ok.

And when you click for a display of the newsletter in your browser you would need t6hose tags too.

Do I completely missunderstand the concept of html newsletters?

I came here to ask the same question.

I am seeing:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
 <title>FastTrack Newsletter</title>
 <style type="text/css">
 <!--
  .ExternalClass{display:block !important;}
  .yshortcuts, .yshortcuts a, .yshortcuts a:link, .yshortcuts a:visited, .yshortcuts a:hover, .yshortcuts a span { color:#313131; text-decoration: none !important; border-bottom: none !important; background: none !important;}
 -->
 </style>
</head>

<body marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"> 

 

Replaced in the WYSIWG editor with the following:

<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 &nbsp;</p>
<p>
 <title></title>
 <style type="text/css">
<!--
  .ExternalClass{display:block !important;}
  .yshortcuts, .yshortcuts a, .yshortcuts a:link, .yshortcuts a:visited, .yshortcuts a:hover, .yshortcuts a span { color:#313131; text-decoration: none !important; border-bottom: none !important; background: none !important;}
 --> </style>
</p> 

 

All those paragraph tags move my content way down the page!  Would I be better off removing all that head content and the body tag?  Is any of it meant to be retained as a best practice?  The style rules are meant to handle yahoo mail IIRC.

Why is the editor removing my <title> and inserting one of it’s own (blank)?

Ah! I found the origin of some of the extraneous paragraph tags!!!

In the editor every time I switch back and forth between source and wysywg views a new paragraph tag is added.

This seems like a bug, albeit a minor one.

I now have learnt this while reading some articles.

thanks for pointing to the direction.
