If you’ve followed our blog – you know that top email clients like Gmail and Outlook 2007 and beyond only support about 50% of all html and css. That’s why your well crafted email design that follows otherwise best-practices for website design – just might look.. well, bad. Below – with help from www.emailonacid.com – we’ve summarized the universally supported html and CSS tags. These can be used and will render properly in any email client (excluding Lotus Notes 6.5/7.0. Notes supports the following HTMLbut only supports the CSS properties with an *). Also note – the CSS properties below should be used INLINE (not in an embedded style sheet, but with a style="…" directive), since some clients like Gmail strip embedded style sheets.
