no visible borders, so readers won't notice them.

Emmet
Emmet is a plugin that enables the lightning-fast creation of HTML code though the use of a
simple and effective shortcut language resembling CSS Selectors. On the Source tab in the
Workspace, you could for example type table>tr>td*2 and press the Tab key to quickly enter a
table with one row and two cells in that row. Typing table.green>tr*4>td*2 and pressing the
Tab key inserts a table that has the class green, and that contains four rows with two cells
each.
To learn more about Emmet, please see their website: Emmet.io and the Emmet.io
documentation: http://docs.emmet.io/.
To change the way Emmet works in the Designer, select Window > Preferences, and in the
Preferences dialog, select Emmet.

that apply to the content of the email to inline style tags, as if local formatting was applied.
Using images in email campaigns: tips

There is, however, a downside to this method: embedded images can't be used to track email
open rates. Email services like mandrillapp.com embed a tiny tracer image at the bottom of your
message. Each time a recipient opens the email the tracer image (aka beacon image) is
downloaded and yet another 'open' is registered. On mobile devices this happens when the
