You can however still use background colors in tables, as long as they are not nested.....yay.

Already seen that campaign monitor page and i'm not using bg images on tables. (the design was done to avoid such problems)
The only problem is: i have a 2 columns table with the width attribute ( <td width="123px"> )defined for every TD (just in case)and it's not working at all.
I guess is that word rendering the problem :-/

My tip is to use BASIC html and nothing else. Wrap font tags around everything and also use spacers gifs liberally. You can keep your table widths from breaking by using a spacer gif and setting it's size to your desired width. Spacers will be downloaded even if the email client is blocking images which is nice.

use spacer images to set widths within the td

Outlook is either messing everything up, or is going to mess everything up. I forget when their own code is going into how their e-mails are displayed.
