TL;DR: Spark’s new text formatting options on iOS and Mac will help you write meaningful emails and convey your message across with better impact. Your emails will look beautiful, clean, and efficient.
Email is one of the most popular mediums of communication today. We have been using email for several decades now, and it has evolved into a reliable way to convey our thoughts and messages across. In recent times, HTML email has been gaining widespread popularity, with more and more businesses adopting it to offer a rich experience through email. Of course, not everyone can compose a colorful HTML email theme, and so we’ve always relied on Plain Text email to write our emails.
We often write extensive emails to convey our thoughts to the recipients, complete with detailed explanations and long lists, which requires additional formatting options to emphasize certain parts of the email in order to make it more effective and avoid wasting the recipient’s time. Plain Text email just doesn’t cut it at times like these.
Over the last few months, our team has been diligently working on adding Rich Text formatting features in Spark Mail app. We believe we have crafted a premium experience to format your emails, and we’re delighted to be rolling it out to you today.
