Newsletter Problems In Hotmail

    Are there any secrets to actually getting a newsletter to look decent in Hotmail and in Outlook? It seams that the more you follow modern standards with CSS and such, the more it gets hammered. I'm thinking about building a template with no CSS....just font and such...like a Frontpage site from 3 years ago type of deal.

    Is there a better way of doing this?

    Each mail client will interpret your code differently. Most common problem is they block images.

    Try to use as few images as possible. Use tables for structure and style with inline css.

    There is a good article on sitepoint but I can't include links.

    Good Luck
