Very nice. HTML email and horribly arcane <table> code are like peanut butter and chocolate - messy to assemble, but you can't argue with the result.
When I saw the first pic, I wondered if this would just be generating an image, or using complicated CSS (which can be problematic for older email clients), but using tables to achieve a result that should work in most clients, and show up even with images turns off, is pretty sweet.
The only thing better would be some screenshots as to how this actually appears in various versions of Outlook, Thunderbird, GMail, etc.

Any other's you're interested in? (Tip: Litmus is a terrific tool for email testing. Not affiliated, just a happy customer)

- wikwocket 13y agoThank you for doing this. I laugh whenever I open the plaintext version of an email and it still has the default text of "Insert a text version of your message here for users without images to read"!
