Microsoft Outlook 2007 Sucks at HTML email
Thursday, May 1st, 2008Microsoft – why don’t you just disable HTML email in Outlook 2007 rather than implement it so badly?
It now uses Microsoft Word’s rendering engine. The interesting thing is what happens when you forward on an email. You can view the source in Outlook which hides the transformations it is applying – but it isn’t until you forward it and view the source of that email that you can see what trash it is converting it too.
Why should I have to revert to using a table to create a simple border round a block of text when this should be able to be achieved with a div and css?
According to this list of what isn’t supported at Sitepoint (Microsoft Breaks HTML Email Rendering in Outlook 2007) …
no support for background images (HTML or CSS)
no support for forms
no support for Flash, or other plugins
no support for CSS floats
no support for replacing bullets with images in unordered lists
no support for CSS positioning
no support for animated GIFs
you can add inconsistent support for most everything else!
