Test Email Wordage

When I send Test emails to myself and coworkers the wordage warning that it's a test is on the bottom of the email. I think it would be more beneficial at the top so the recipients see it right away and arent startled that an email went out early outside of a content plan. 

 

Right now I have to type "THIS IS A TEST" in the provided text box.

 

Thanks.

Hello @Christ-in-the-City ,

 

The problem is that this warning wording code can cause delivery issues if it's too early in the email (i.e. the top), where text previews would appear in inboxes. If you wish to include additional warnings about the email being a test, I'd advise continuing to use that Personal Note section, since that's part of its purpose. 

 

For a full overview of test sending emails, see this article.
