An anchor is a hyperlink that points to another point in the same document, in this case, the email. Anchors are best used in long emails with multiple sections. You can provide a series of anchors that allow your contact to skip the beginning sections to read the ones at the bottom more easily.
The emails that you create in your Benchmark Email account are essentially HTML pages. The only limitation is that some email clients may not support all HTML tags.
Most email clients do support the use of anchors; emails created in your Benchmark Email account also allow the use of anchors.
