Outlook 07 Preview and Code Analysis Update |
|
11.22.2009 We are excited to announce that we have recently made some drastic improvements to our Outlook 07 preview. We are hoping that this will give developers a better understanding of how to design and construct HTML and CSS emails that comply with Outlook's often frustrating MS Word engine.

In taking into account the complexity of testing your email, we must first consider the most popular email applications used today. Then we will take a look at web based email clients, and finally we will touch on ways to ensure that your email will render correctly on mobile devices.
It's official, there's an invisible ghost haunting Hotmail and it had us spooked for over 3 days! OK so we don't mean Friday the 13th scary, but still scary to a programmer who doesn't see it coming!

It doesn't appear that Microsoft is going to play nice with HTML rendering in Office 2010. They are continuing down the '07 path by using Word to render HTML. Are you surprised? Honestly, we aren't. We have recently received a beta version of Outlook 2010 and through our email tests we have noted the same rendering problems from Outlook 07.
Until now, designing and developing HTML emails has been like trying to hit a moving target while blindfolded. Each of the email clients have different standards for how they accept and render standard HTML and CSS. nrfd7xvkgp
