Why Email Preview Matters for Cold Outreach

Your cold email can look very different across email clients and devices. What appears perfectly formatted in Gmail might be truncated or display incorrectly in Outlook. Testing your emails before sending ensures a professional appearance everywhere.

Key Elements to Test

  • Subject line length: Keep under 50 characters to prevent truncation on mobile devices.
  • Preheader text: This snippet appears after the subject line in inbox view. Use 40-130 characters to maximize impact.
  • Line breaks: Ensure your email is easy to scan with appropriate spacing.
  • Mobile readability: Over 60% of emails are opened on mobile devices.

Email Client Differences

Gmail: Has aggressive spam filtering. Keep emails simple and avoid excessive links or images.

Outlook: Renders HTML differently. Stick to basic formatting for consistent display.

Apple Mail: Most forgiving with rendering. Still test dark mode compatibility.

Best Practices

  • Always preview on mobile - it's where most emails are first seen
  • Test in both light and dark mode
  • Keep paragraphs short (2-3 sentences max)
  • Use a clear, scannable structure
  • Ensure your CTA is visible without scrolling
