Notes on this template
It opens: "Barebones Product update Here's what's new with Barebones We shipped a new release with improvements to help you move faster and stay in sync. Open the dashboard to explore the full changelog. View in dashboard Starting is easy 1 Review...". Preheader: "Product update: what's new at Barebones". Links: "Learn about Pro". 12 images, 12 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 215 warnings behind that score are concentrated there rather than spread evenly.
At 38.4KB compiled it has roughly 64KB 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: Body copy, screenshots and the changelog list. Product mail is usually the longest thing a team sends, which makes the size figure below the one to watch as you add sections.
Leave alone: The heading hierarchy. It carries the document outline that screen readers announce, and flattening every heading to styled text is the most common accessibility regression in this category.
