It is HTML emails that are gross, not plain text.

- monochromatic 11y agoUnfortunately, sometimes in the real world we don't all get to always choose our own tools.
- insertnickname 11y agoSure, but you still shouldn't blame plain text for Outlook's failures.
- monochromatic 11y agoI didn't lay blame at all. I just asked: "Do you wind up with plaintext emails that look gross when opened in Outlook?" My presumption, based on your defensiveness/evasiveness, is that the answer is "yes."
- monochromatic 11y agoFine, but Outlook does not make plain text emails look nice.
