Specifically, periods.
Some email clients interpret a line that starts with a lone period as the 'end of message'. When these clients come across one in your email, they stop rendering and display everything up until that point, often leading to unreadable jibberish.
You: "Who would start a sentence with a period."
Well, this is also applicable for embedded <style> blocks of css. For example:
.mystyle{
color:red;
}
If this were embedded into your email creative, many browsers would stop rendering as soon as they hit the period.
AND NOW FOR A WORK AROUND!
There is a simple work around for this. Just add a space before the period on any line that starts with one. That's it. Easy huh?
