Are you kidding? Proper HTML rendering is the least of Outlook's problems.
I blame Outlook for the mess that E-mail became. Top-posting, citing entire E-mails, people being unable to distinguish cited text from new text, unbroken long line, unreadable and unformatted E-mails.
- greyman 17y agoMy thoughts exactly. I never had a problem with email being in html format, nor with being coded by using tables. CSS purists don't like tables, but other than that, this topic is a non-issue.
- gaius 17y agoTo be fair, the people who do that would do it with any email client. Remember, your typical corporate email user was never on Usenet, has never been on a mailing list, genuinely doesn't know the difference between "reply" and "reply all", etc. It just so happens that these people get given Outlook and they use it. Or not, even, loads of senior managers, even at tech companies, have their secretaries send email for them and would consider reading 10 messages a day themselves "too much".
- greyman 17y agoNo, no, no. I use outlook at work, gmail for general email and also thunderbird for one other email address. And I really didn't come across a problem that email being coded in html tables.
