Code Breakdown
This is one of the simplest email templates possible. It consists of a single table with centered rows (td) for each line of text. All styling, such as the font-family, font-size, and color, is applied directly to the table cells and links using the style attribute. The copyright notice, address, and unsubscribe link are separated by p tags with zeroed-out margins to control spacing reliably.
