Tables and images in emails

If you use tables for multi-column layouts in your emails, then Mark Wyner has some details on how column widths are handled when you have padding, nested tables etc.

As with much HTML, email clients (like Outlook) and webmail services don't treat tables like the more robust and reliable web browsers. So planning widths down to the pixel is a tricky business. Mark has the lowdown.

And Ken Magill explains the background to the saga of image suppression. He looks at the pros and cons of certification (to get round image blocks) and gets advice from Matt Blumberg on how other elements of your email program can compensate for the blocked images problem.
