Outlook´s broken, Let´s fix it

// June 24th, 2009 // CSS, Design

Microsoft have confirmed they plan on using the Word rendering engine to display HTML emails in Outlook 2010.

This means for the next 5 years your email designs will need tables for layout, have no support for CSS like float and position, no background images and lots more. Want proof? Here´s the same email in Outlook 2000 & 2010.

Outlook 2010 is still in beta and Microsoft wants your feedback. It´s time to rally together and encourage Microsoft to embrace web standards before it´s too late.

Let´s use Twitter to send a clear message to Microsoft.

Join 12,965 others asking Microsoft to improve standards support and make sure you include fixoutlook.org in your tweet. We´ll pull together every tweet that includes the link here to give Microsoft a unified message from the community.
