Microsoft Outlook Email CSS Design Issues
June 17, 2007
Just a show of hands as to how many of you have Outlook 2007 running as your email on your computer right now? Probably not that many of you but here is the thing for those of you who send out email promotional material to your customers. Microsoft has helped to push back email design about 10 years after releasing Outlook 2007.
For those of you who design your email campaigns in CSS you’ll be very unhappy to know that many of your standard favorites are no longer supported by Outlook 2007. This includes no support for float and position which means that you now have to position your email layout in tables. Yuck!
If you are interested in more of the shortcomings of Outlook 2007 then you’ll want to read the article “Microsoft takes email design back 5 years” on Campaign Monitor’s Blog.
