Feb 6, 2015 at 20:45 comment added Ben Collins Mod @Amo, There are no changes planned. If you got an old-style email you should post it as a bug.
Feb 6, 2015 at 20:37 comment added Arno @BenCollins: Funny enough, today I received a single message in the old format! Any changes predictable?

Oct 14, 2014 at 7:30 comment added Arno @Ben: Your goal is more engagement and you hide the actual information in at most 10% of the space available for the entire message? Are you sure that this looks more appealing and thus improves the engagement? Can you please be a bit more specific and extend your answer accordingly?
Oct 13, 2014 at 16:32 comment added Ben Collins Mod @svick yep, I understand, and I'm sure you won't be the only one that feels that way. I think the answer addresses this though - the point is to drive engagement, and visual design has a big impact on that. The thought here is that this will improve overall engagement coming from email subscriptions.

Oct 13, 2014 at 16:18 comment added svick What's the reason for the change? Is it that you're optimizing for people who receive the emails rarely? If that's the case, maybe each first email in a day could use the new full format, but second and following emails in a day could use a simpler format (similar to the old one)?
Oct 13, 2014 at 6:41 comment added Arno The "bug" tag was not my choice. Initially my post had tags "discussion" and "support". It was not my intention to report this as a bug. That's why I asked for a "users choice" with respect to the new design. I'd suggest to consider a "choice" and monitor the stats to find out what's more appealing.
