What is Preview Text (Preheader)?

Quick Answer

The short text displayed after the subject line in the inbox, giving recipients additional context before opening.

Preview text (also called preheader) is the snippet of text displayed next to or below the subject line in email clients. It's typically 40-100 characters visible before opening. Use it to reinforce the subject line, add a secondary hook, or create a combined curiosity loop. If not set, email clients pull the first text from the email body — often undesirable. MisarMail allows custom preview text for every campaign.
