EMAIL BEST PRACTICES
So think you're done after you've perfected your layout and copy, tested your links and written your subject line? If you are hoping to truly optimize your email messages, your work may be far from over. Among the many challenges of distributing email newsletters and campaigns are the varying ways that email clients render your From and Subject lines. Why is optimizing the From and Subject lines so important? It's simple, really.
The From line is what recipients use to determine whether to delete an email. The Subject line is what motivates people to actually open the email.

So if your recipient doesn't recognize the address in your From line (such as an automated, awkward reply-to address), off to the Deleted Files folder your email goes without a second glance. And if that award-winning, let'sinclude-everything-but-the-kitchen-sink subject line gets cut off prematurely, it will leave your reader still wondering what's inside. Either way, the chances your email might be opened remain as good as winning the award for most effective subject line - Zero.
The first of your challenges lies in what will actually show depending on the client itself - the Name or the Email Address. The From Name, sometimes referred to as the "friendly From Line," creates an instant recognition with the subscriber, whereas an email address may not always be as recognizable. But with some email clients, you don't have a choice in what your subscribers will see.
The AOL example also illustrates the issues you can have with the length of From lines. In the above example, the From line was turned from a name to an email address and truncated at 15 or 16 characters, rendering the email address virtually unrecognizable.
For most companies, changing or shortening the From email address is usually not even an option (or likely to be helpful). For example, if your company name is Sports Warehouse and your email address is it can't really be shortened. But you can get creative to overcome your character-challenged From line. Put your company name, newsletter name, or other recognizable name in your subject line (at the beginning or end).
