Not only does outlook 2007 suck for HTML email, so does the download site
I have the pleasure of putting together our company newsletters and also those for Tactile CRM. We currently use Campaign Monitor, which is a great piece of software, however Outlook 2007 isn’t.
Currently, I am redesigning and testing the Tactile CRM newsletter. It works fine in all browsers, until I come to Outlook 2007 - Campaign Monitor have an excellent tool for checking your email across a variety of clients. The first screenshot below is how it should look:
and this is how Outlook 2007 renders it:
Now as I am a bit of a perfectionist I needed to fix this. My next port of call was the MS website to get the Outlook 2007 trial. Signing up was a bit of a pain, but my frustration was complete when I got the following error message trying to do ‘Download 1′:
Of course I haven’t completed the second download. I have just come to the page and am trying to do the first one. If you want me to do the second one first, why have it as the second one?!
I still don’t have it installed but I have vented my frustration for the time being!
