It opens: "A note from us We don't send long emails often, when we do, we want them to feel direct. No hero image, no noise: just a quick word from the team behind Collage . We're building Collage so your team...". Preheader: "A short note from the Collage team". Links: "Open your workspace". 4 images, 0 Outlook-only blocks, no dark-mode query, web font.

The spread is what matters on this template: 100 in Superhuman against 61 in Outlook Classic, a 39-point gap across the same file. 6 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 139 warnings behind that score are concentrated there rather than spread evenly.
