Plain text version
Hi {first_name},

Quick question about your team's outbound. can I send you the new Outsolvi guide (https://outsolvi.com)?

Thanks,
Nate

Made it. Now see what happens after you send.

Outsolvi tracks your email once it leaves your outbox: which opens were a person and which were a machine, who clicked, and who replied. Follow-ups stop on their own when someone answers. Outlook and Gmail, from $7/user/mo billed yearly.

Track your next send
What it does

Strips HTML tags, converts <a> to 'text (url)', converts <p> to double newline, converts <li> to '- '. Output is ready to paste into the plain-text alternative of a multipart MIME message.

When to use

Authoring multipart/alternative emails where the plain-text version needs to be hand-written or auto-generated alongside the HTML.

FAQ

Why include a plain-text alternative?+

Some mail clients render plain-text by default. Email gateways often score lower-spam on multipart messages than HTML-only. Plain-text alternative is best practice for cold outreach.

Nate built Outsolvi after watching every email-tracking tool he had ever used lie to him about opens. Outsolvi grades every open as a person or a machine, in Outlook and Gmail, so the number on the dashboard is one a rep can actually act on.
