Hi

My acid test result revealsed lots and lots and looooooooots of discrepancies, but the screen shots look OK. sure, sometimes the font looks different and other times the border might be thicker (ie in Lotus), but should I be too concerned?
also, what are the major email clients I should be worried about?

A discrepancy may or may not alter the final layout in a way that is unpleasing and in many instances, a programmer may use certain CSS properties or HTML attributes that work for a majority of email clients but not for others. In fact, in certain circumstances they are forced to use code that is not supported in all clients just so that their design will render correctly across the board. When certain properties or elements are not “supported” the email client in question simply ignores that code. Therefore, do not confuse the term “discrepancies” with “code errors.”

Here’s more on that topic:
What is an Email Testing “Discrepancy?”

We classify our discrepancies as: critical, moderate, and minor.  If you don’t want to be bothered with minor issues, you can adjust your settings by logging in and clicking on the “Settings” link in the top right corner.

Cheers and happy testing!
