13. TMS e-News: Simple Formatting Reaches More Readers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A number of readers have asked why TMS e-News does not use text formatting and images to enhance the newsletter’s appearance. The answer is this: TMS provides e-News in a simple format to maximize service to its readers. When formatting and images are added to a newsletter, many e-mail recipients receive a distorted version of the intended message, as not all e-mail systems handle these embellishments as elegantly as others. Also, images add to the size of the message, thereby causing potential download delays to recipients with slower e-mail connections. By keeping e-News’s format as simple as possible, TMS can keep more readers informed about important society deadlines and events.
