Getting into the Yahoo Inbox

    I'm a little baffled with Yahoo right now, hope the collective minds here at DP can help me out.

    The most of us are taught that the basis to HTML email newsletters are:
    1) Good = a higher text ratio to pics and html coding
    2) Bad = chunks of pictures

    But here's the deal with Yahoo:
    My emails comprising of chunks of pictures + text are getting into the inbox and my thumbnail + text newsletters are getting into the spam folder. Both versions have been tested with the same IP, same server and subject line.

    **both versions work for the inbox for gmail & hotmail though.

    Was hoping if you guys could provide some insight on this matter or if you have a Yahoo Inbox proven HTML format, please help me out here.

    PPAgent01, been there done that.
    all you get is their usual response template reply that your mailings are being fluctuated or throttled from inbox to junk because is currently being monitored (which is all a lie).

    Tested out on numerous occasions which both versions
    1) chunks of pic with little text = bingo
    2) chunks of text with little pics = dayum

    still figuring out the factor that affects this, its the HTML coding definitely, but can't seem to pin point on which.

    Reason why im not going for chunks of pics because it's has high down time (design effort and all). Trying to work out on a easy to setup format that works.

    I know images makes much more appealing a newsletter or any regular mailing, but the most effective way to get into the inbox is by plain text.

    It is better to ask directly to Yahoo!. Other oprtions are Gmail and hotmail. But ask yahoo, maybe there programming mistake in yahoo! and with your query they may fix it.
