Microsoft Breaks HTML Email Rendering in Outlook 2007 The following is republished from the Tech Times #156. If support for web standards in browsers is improving slowly, then support in email clients is moving at a glacial pace. Attempts to document things like CSS support in the major email clients have revealed a depressing state of affairs, but with recent desktop clients like Thunderbird now sitting on solid rendering engines, things have been looking up. All that changed when Microsoft dropped a lump of coal into every web developer’s stocking with the end-of-year release to business customers, and the upcoming consumer release, of Outlook 2007. At the risk of turning this newsletter into a biweekly Microsoft bash, Redmond has done it again. That’s right.
