Outlook 2007: Friend or Foe?

Outlook has updated their software for the new year, but with limitations that are leaving marketers wondering how to design their messages so they are seen as they intended. Email marketers that have already mastered email delivery best practices may have nothing to worry about, but those who have not may have to change the way they code their emails to have them render correctly.

Office 2007 has no support for Flash or other plug-ins, limited CSS support and imposes a 2-pixel height minimum for cells, among a number of other formatting problems. These limitations present yet another obstacle for e-mail marketers in the battle of getting into the inboxes.
