I am currently using the third-generation editor and am also using the provided mobile-responsive templates from Constant Contact and overall it's been pretty decent, however the more I work with the templates the more issues I have been running into. 1. Why can I not use an element from one template on a different one? I only have a limited option of "builds" or "layouts" to use. I would think that it'd be extremely beneficial to be able to use any element created for mobile-responsive emails on any template I chose to further adjust it to my email needs. For example, using the blue star banner that uses the full width of the email and then "wraps around" the edge on the template "Birthday Banner" on a different template to create a divider that was a bit more visually interesting than a simple thick or thin line. 2. I have seen that line spacing is an issue across the board, I've seen three other posts today in my search relating to those. Changing the line spacing under the Design tab is only slightly useful, because then it just changes the entire email's line space. What about adjusting the line spacing between the bullets on a bulleted list? There is no option for that, and adjusting the entire line space of the email only creates new problems. 3. To piggy-back on line spacing, can there be an option to have a table inserted for information? I am currently trying to get some information inputted in an email but when I try to add space by "tabbing" or adding it by simply hitting my spacebar 10+ times, it gets screwy after I save or try to preview it. In the template after I hit preview: I cannot put any sort of spacing between the information I need without it being removed. Any word on when that will be fixed or tables being an option to use? I would rather not have to add yet another image to an email since too many images can result in the email being marked as spam by email providers. 4. Why can't I adjust font sizes? It's very inconvenient to not be in full control over the size of font. And what a crazy jump from 28 to 36 to 48. Yikes. Those are the issues that I can think of currently. If I have others I will create another post or perhaps add to this one. I hope some resolutions are coming for several of these inconveniences that are important to have for email design.
