Do you remember the web designer term slicing? This was when websites used to be constructed by designing a page-sized image and cutting it into little sections, which were then reassembled into tables and placed on a page. Slicing used to be a very common technique for working around browser inconsistencies. Sadly, the same technique lives on in many email designers' toolboxes, and even the biggest companies send out HTML emails that are nothing more than a collection of images. While it certainly reduces the time spent developing the email, the benefits end there. Unlike web browsers, email clients routinely block images from downloading until the reader clicks a special button or link, as shown in the image below.
