Here’s something I’ve struggled with twice now… so hopefully by just writing this it will stick now and I won’t get stung again.
Images need to be the size of the pace you set them to be. I was using a 1px coloured image which I would set in the html to 180px x 6px to create a rule. However in Outlook 2007/2010 it would always show these at about 60px x 6px…
When I make these colour rules as an image sized at 180px x 6px then they appear correctly…
May I never forget this again…

You can actually send test emails on a Mac by using Safari and going to File – “Mail Contents of the page”.

Hello Brian,

Do you have any tips on how to fix a table’s width to 600 pixels? I’ve tried:

I’ve also tried and I get a table with contents much wider than that.

Do you have any ideas as to what needs to be done in order to make it actually be 600 pixels?

Thanks!

I am one of those people Ed….can you point me to where I can learn to insert the HTML email template into outlook 2010. My challenge seems to be the image mapping, I have used many times with Outlook 2007. Can anyone help?

An explaination of how to implement the template into outlook would have been benefical. A lot of people struggle with that.

Thanks man. I was kind of trying to avoid that but it’s looking like thats the case. I had the bullets working in every single of web client (via Litmus) and outlook 2010 has to be the problem child. lol. Appreciate your input.
