Optimizing For The Preview Pane

_This is Day Three of *5 Days To Optimize Your E-mail Messages*, here’s “part one”:http://www.onedegree.ca/2005/12/05/5-days-to-optimize-your-email-messages and here’s “part two”:http://www.onedegree.ca/2005/12/06/optimizing-for-different-email-clients.­_
In a recent “DM News”:http://www.dmnews.com article, “Study: B2B Readers Don’t Open Emails”:http://www.dmnews.com/cgi-bin/artprevbot.cgi?article_id=34779&dest=article, we find out that most B2B newsletter subscribers use the preview pane to view emails.
* 69% of B2B newsletter subscribers “frequently” or “always” use the preview pane to view emails
* 49% said they only look at the first few lines of the preview pane
* 19% said they delete messages if insufficient information is displayed
B2B email recipients use their preview panes. Many also check their personal email at the office and likely apply the same preview pane to their POP3 ISP-based email.
How does your marketing email look in the preview panes of the most common email clients?
