Help! When I transferred my newsletter from Tasty Tidbits to Icontact & tried to send it, I get a message that says I need to have Text Only (versus HTML, I guess?). What on earth does that mean and how do I get it?? I'm spending so much time on this I could already have called my 300 contacts! :cry:
Thanks so much! Marey in Michigan
 
Underneath the picture version of the newsletter, there is a button that says "Copy text" which will create the text only version of your newsletter.

The part about putting it into iContact isn't necessary with the one-click import, but the rest of it might be helpful.

You've saved my day!!! How on earth do people figure out how to do this if they don't know the lingo? I am so grateful to you! Thanks again!
 
iContact gives you training e-mails, but they spread the suckers out so far that by the time you get it & read it you're thinking "That would have helped LAST MONTH!" :grumpy:
