I am building a Django application that needs to send out some Emails using HTML templates. The email templates use images as well as some variables from django context. Right now, every time I make an update to the inline css or html I send myself a new Email to check how the email looks in different Browsers/Applications. Is there a way I can preview the Email without having to send it to myself? Just previewing the Email in the browser doesn't work as the CSS is always "interpreted" differently when I send it in an actual Email.

    <table cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#fff" border="0" style="width: 900px;">
        <a href="mailto:[email protected]">
            <img style="width: 900px" src="cid:top.jpg" />
        </a>
    </table>

    <table cellpadding="12" bgcolor="#fff" border="0" style="width: 900px; margin-left: 0em; margin-bottom: 15px;">
        <p style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24px; text-align: center;">VIELEN DANK.</p>

A common method among email developers is to use email screenshots services, like Litmus, Email on Acid or Testi.at. But other than that, hand testing is still necessary and a proven way of doing things in the email world.
