Password Reset · Barebone

It opens: "Barebones Reset your password Someone has requested a link to change your password, and you can do this through the link below. Change password If you didn't request this, please ignore this email. Your password won't change until you access...". Preheader: "Reset your password". 6 images, 2 Outlook-only blocks, no dark-mode query, web font.

The spread is what matters on this template: 100 in HEY Mail against 64 in Outlook Classic, a 36-point gap across the same file. 4 of the 21 clients render it without a single flagged property. Outlook Classic is the one to preview against after any edit, because it is where this template has the least margin, and the 154 warnings behind that score are concentrated there rather than spread evenly.

At 13.3KB compiled it has roughly 89KB of headroom before Gmail clips the message at 102KB and hides the rest behind a "View entire message" link. Inlined CSS and base64 images both count toward that, so watch it as you add sections.

Safe to customise: The expiry window and the did-not-request line. This is the most security-sensitive message a product sends and the one most often mistaken for phishing, so keep it short, keep it plain, and avoid promotional content entirely.

Leave alone: The absence of tracking pixels and redirects. Reset links that pass through a click tracker are the reason these messages land in spam, and this template is deliberately built without that indirection.
