FAQs

Q: How will I know which systems use Standard HTML?

Most platforms support Standard HTML. However, if a system does not, it may misread the code and display the newsletter differently.

Recipients using Outlook may also see differences if the platform doesn’t support Standard HTML.

👉 Best practice: Always send yourself a test email first to preview how your newsletter appears.

Q: Which platforms should I disable Standard HTML for?

At the time of writing, the following do not support Standard HTML:

SwiftK12 & ParentSquare

For these platforms, select Non-Standard HTML; this will likely display closer to your original newsletter.

⚠️ Keep in mind: Without Standard HTML, some platforms may alter the code, and Outlook recipients may still see differences.

Q: Before I had this option, everything worked fine. Which should I choose now?

If you previously exported MNS code without this choice and your newsletters looked fine, you can continue using Standard HTML.

👉 Still, we strongly recommend always sending a test email through your platform before mailing your full list.

✨ Pro Tip: If your newsletter looks off in Outlook or your MNS platform, try toggling between Standard and Non-Standard HTML until you find the version that displays best.
