When typing in your text you need to keep your line length at 65 characters per line and hit a hard return at end of each and every line. This is imperative. If you allow words to wrap automatically, ezine your readers receive may have lines chopped off mid sentence and will look terrible. By using hard return you'll be ensuring that your newsletter will be readable and attractive in majority of email clients. Never type your ezine in all caps as this is equivalent to screaming.
2. CONTENT
I highly recommend you write at least one original article a month for your newsletter; more if you can. It's OK to include work by others on an occasional basis or for filler, but your ezine will carry more weight if you take time to write your own material.
When you do need outside content, here are some excellent sources:
