Wow is that fucked up or what? I do tons of HTML emails using Outlook, we know statistically that more than 90% of our viewers are using Outlook.
Good news is, we just moved up to Outlook 2003 within the past few months, bad news is I'll still have to account for this because of viewers who WILL upgrade to 2007.

Which is a good thing for MS, jerks

Outlook 2007 as a whole is a big step up from the great 2003 release.
Number one being that you can categorize your e-mail now.
And the user interface is all souped up ... kind of reminds me of iCal a bit.
As far as e-mail is concerned ... I really don't care I guess, haha.
I use GMail for my personal stuff, and Outlook 2007 for work.
However, that is a little more than a tad fucked up.
The Office Suite as a whole has been getting extremely better, and making it more efficient to work with over the past 2 releases.*
* Besides this glaring point I imagine, haha.

i'd just like to thanks all of the talking heads who convinced us all to ditch tables over the last 3 years.

Haha, oh boy, reading that article is making my head spin.
This is fucking absurd, haha.

David,When you tried to come with reasons about why Microsoft goes this way I think you forgot to mention "Reason 4: to kill their competition".
Microsoft knows they can't compete in CSS and standards so they, knowing most of the cake is theirs, step back to their solution.
Mind you, they might plan to come with a service like "Microsoft Newsletters Service" where they will offer their "way" of doing things which are the way that Outlook will support best.
Just my thought.

One the one hand (the bigger, more dominant one) this is utterly stupid - on the other, maybe the HTMLMailNiks can begin excercising some restraint in their ambitions.
I loathe HTML mails now, and try and sign up for txt ones, as some companies seem to think it smart sending unnecessary multi-image mails which bloat my client and take precious seconds of my [important] life dl'ing.

Hmm... annoyance.
