Fancy or plain?

So-called HTML email looks fancy, like a web page. From the Can't Please Everyone Department, most love it but a few don't.

You can please everyone, however, because SmugMug sends both plain and fancy together so the recipient will automatically see it the way they prefer. Their email program chooses which one to display according to their preferences.

The HTML version is shown when you click the Preview Email button.

Gotcha: You'll need to make sure external linking is toggled to yes in your Customize Gallery settings? so that the photo will show up properly in your share email.

Has anyone read the email yet?

In your Control Panel?, you can see statistics on every email you've sent out, including how many people have viewed each email and how many people have clicked through to see the gallery full of pictures.

Do I get an address book?

Logged in SmugMug subscribers can add email addresses to an address book, but we don't support importing addresses from other programs, sorry!

Professional subscribers will find an "add to SmugMug address book" link at the top of each order in their Pro Sales Report?.
