waving a one fingered gesture at Microsoft..wth?!

Ok..here's the situation...

I'm creating an HTML email with tables and background colors.

Lo and behold, if you nest tables, Outlook 2007 will strip out the background color. Wait...what? Yeah, exactly.

But, when you open the email in outlook and then view message in browser, voila! the background color emerges!

Thank you MS for using 2 different HTML rendering engines. One of the best cases of, 'the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing'

Jake Munson's Gravatar This was a very controversial decision that MS made. They decided to use the crappy MS Word HTML rendering engine instead of IE's. Why would anybody in their right mind think that is a good idea? Why not dump the piece of crap Word engine and use IE in ALL of their products? Is anybody awake in Redmond?

By the way...your 2 captchas are very annoying. I think it's time you look for a better solution (ping me if you need any ideas).
