It's a bird…It's a plane…It's v4!

The latest and greatest editor is live!

Like last month, we've been very busy at JangoMail. What a better way to kick off March than with a new editor?!? Our new v4 HTML Editor is our most advanced editor and is available now. It has a brand new look to match our UI, and all the same great features that EditLive has, along with a few extras. NOTE:  Any locked content you created in the other editors will still work.

Here are a few New Features:

1. Image Capabilities – Upload your images and graphics directly in the editor, no need to upload separately in Assets.
2. Source Code Button – This replaces the old HTML button.  Click to edit your HTML.
3. Template Button – Choose a Smart Template directly from the editor.
4. Spell Check Button – Double check the spelling of your copy.
5. Block Quote – Adds a block quote, or indented quotation.
6. Insert Content Button – CAN SPAM Footer and Social share, Unsubscribe, Forward-a-friend, and View-as-web-page links are found here.
7. QR Code Picture Generator – Easily insert a QR code here. Great for any promotions, contests or giveaways.
8. Maximize Button – This replaces the Toggle Full Screen button. The function is the same but the look is new. Use it to open a new window to work with a larger screen.

To see how these and all the other v4 features work, check out our updated documentation.

New Feature: Determine Size of Email Before Sending

You can now determine the size of your email message using the Spam Check tool on the Send Email page.

Why would I care about the size of my email message?

JangoMail measures both number of emails sent and total data bytes sent from your account. Both are a factor in your account's pricing. Now, the Spam Check tool will include the exact size of your email message in bytes, taking into account the HTML/Plain Text parts, any attachments, and embedded images, if you choose to set your email marketing campaign that way.

Here's a live example from our customer, Popcorn Palace:


And here is the result of the Spam Check:

The size of this email at 191 KB is bigger than the average email marketing message, and that's because it's using the Embedded Images feature, which encodes the content of each image within the actual email content, rather than referencing the images off a web server.

If this email did not use the Embedded Images feature, the total size would be around 1,500 bytes, or 1.5 KB, for a size savings of over 99%!
