Andy17 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hey guys, So I am using PHP to send out html e-mails and I have included some styling within the head of my html code. This styling works in like half of the e-mail services (one is just Microsoft Outlook) I have tested, but services like Gmail and Hotmail seem to just disregard my CSS styling (I didn't test Yahoo!). I was therefore wondering if I would be better off going oldschool and styling my e-mails with tables, hoping that would show in all the mails I send out? Thank you.

dbrimlow Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Actually, Outlook 2007 doesn't render CSS layout items (it uses Word 2007 as its html engine!!!) either. I recommend that if you need your html to render in email (like for subscribers who want to see your new business/services products), you DO need go back to table based layout and inline tag styling (can't believe I have to say that). Microsoft is simply dedicated to making the life of developers difficult. I actually had to remember how to code badly because with Office 2007 Microsoft decided to step backwards nearly 10 years to when Office '97 didn't have css layout support!

Andy17 Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 I cannot believe it. I am using Outlook 2000 (lol) and it supports CSS. That's just weird. I never really made layouts by using tables because of CSS, so I guess I'll have to learn to be a bad coder! Thanks for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
