A responsive email template to jumpstart your next HTML email project. It uses many of the tips, tricks and hacks developed by the email giants (MailChimp, CampaignMonitor, Email on Acid) and countless others. Without these pioneers this template wouldn't be possible :)
Features
- Several common design patterns - Full-width responsive header image, 2-column image sections which stack left-on-right and right-on-left, 2-column text sections and full-width text section.
- Gmail App autofit killer - A placeholder image that prevents Gmail from 'autofitting' the email and destroying your beautiful responsive layout.
- Tested/works in all the major email clients/browser setups - AOL (except IE8), Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, Apple Mail, Entourage, Live Mail, Lotus Notes 8.5, Outlook 2003-2013, Android 2.3+, Android Gmail, iPad Mail, iPad Gmail, iPhone 4+ Mail and Kindle Fire. NOTE: The only devices that support responsive emails are iOS Mail and Android Mail. Other email clients will see the full version of the email. ALSO NOTE: Due to the mere presence of the tag this email will render as a blank white page in Blackberry (sorry).

How To Use
This boilerplate is meant to be a starting point. After you make your customizations, but before sending the email, you should follow all the standard HTML email best practices. If you're using an ESP like MailChimp the CSS will be automatically inlined. If you're sending this email yourself you should run it through a CSS inliner.
Roadmap
This is an extremely early version and will likely change in the future.
