Why does my sent email look different than when I previewed it?
Generally speaking, various email providers display emails differently and support different functionality. For the most part, this applies to image display, link configuration and margins.

Microsoft Outlook tends to display emails correctly in most cases. For this reason, we suggest testing your emails with other email clients such as Yahoo, Gmail, AOL etc, to review how it would appear when sent to recipients using those email providers.
