Microsoft have just confirmed they plan on using the crippled 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 and no background images. Not to mention the long list of bugs and quirks that break the simplest of layouts.

Marty’s posts are well worth a read, much more than indulgent theory.
Great insights, from people who understand the technology and how to use it to great effect with their consumer.
Almost every sector of business is being affected by the recession – but some companies seem to be impervious and are going from strength to strength.
One business defying the economic downturn is regional digitally-led marketing agency, The Energy Cell. They have been working with local and international clients for nearly 10 years, and when many in their industry are failing, instead of quieting down, they are busier than ever. So, what’s their secret?
