High Impact email 5 Platinum

[The Crusty Clown]

In my Webplus X5 order I had this thrown in, I don't see any information on their site as to what it is. High Impact email 5 Platinum is its name, is it like Thunderbird or Outlook Express?

I see "High Impact" is a 3D application, but what is this email thingo please?

Hi Impact email is an application that creates and sends HTML formatted email through email clients such as Outlook. Essentially it allows you to create an email with embedded images and text formatting etc.

The application has been around for many years and is a nice application for those that have a need for it. The truth is that it does little more than you can do with WebPlus on it's own. I suppose the big advantage of the application is that it can make a mass mailing easier and it works with a number of different email clients.

That said, Any html email application is only as good as the email client it's being sent to. For example, some users will see a perfectly formatted HTML page, whilst other may only see a plain text version. Typically, those recipients that use Hotmail, gmail or yahoo mail may not see the email as you designed it, but those with an email client such as Outlook, Mail or Thunderbird may see the full HTML page as you designed it.

Its a nice application that has its uses, but don't expect everyone who receives one of your High Impact email messages to see it in exactly the same way as you designed it.
