Litmus vs Premailer: What are the differences?
What is Litmus? *Email Testing and Email Marketing Analytics *. Litmus is a testing service for web and marketing professionals. It allows people to cross-browser test their websites, and test their email newsletters across a range of email clients and spam filters.
What is Premailer? Pre-flight for HTML email. For the best HTML e-mail delivery results, CSS should be inline. This is a huge pain and a simple newsletter becomes un-managable very quickly. This script is the solution.
