1. Comment - Users Upset at Outlook HTML Change

   (Jan 31, 2007 - 6:16 PM)

   As an email marketing manager, I design, code, implement, analyze, and manage email campaigns every friggin day.
   
   Before I roast Microsquish for screwing up email rendering, I'd like to see it. I haven't yet had a chance to actually use Outlook 07, but I'm sure that it will pose some new challenges for people like me.
   
   I'm sure that this won't be an 'industry killer' or anything like that, it will just mean that we (email designers) will have to get used to yet another set of standards that we have to work around to make sure our emails are viewed properly by our readers.
   
   With Lotus Notes still on the market, I'm not quite sure what everybody is whining about, Notes has the absolute worst rendering of messages EVER!
   
   Now, I'm not a huge MS fan, nor am I a huge MS hater... but this just seems like a step in the wrong direction... why use a program that is meant to create rich *text* documents to render HTML? I know it technically can render HTML, but as every HTML coder knows, MS just refuses to go by industry standard.
   
   IE doesn't even render based on standards, it has it's own set of standards that forces coders to hack fixes together to get any kind of HTML to display correctly across multiple browsers...
   
   This decision is not surprising people, just annoying, and we will work around it!
