How do I format the "Body" field to cover all the space when sending the email?


swilder

I set-up email thru gmail to send to subscriber, however the format of the body is not covering all the space when I send the email.

Hi @swilder, welcome to the Community! 👋

Is the Body Type field set to send the email in plain format? Asking as I did some checking and it seems this sort of thing has happened before where the plain text option was selected and Gmail automatically reformatted the email text to fit around 78 characters per line. So I suspect that might be what’s happening here.

If you set the  Body Type field to use html format instead, does the text fill the full width of the email body?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thank you so much for the help! The body format was plain text and I keep on trying it but it won’t change. So, I decided to try the html and ask chatgpt to create the html for the email and it did work (much better!).
