I cannot seem to figure out why Outlook is breaking my newsletter.
I designed with tables and under 600px width, with an outer table for my background color.
here is the link to the newsletter, in the format that I am trying to send
http://www.mortgageproblog.com/emailnewsletter.html
It looks great in gmail, thunderbird and hotmail, but when I open it with outlook the tables break and nothing aligns correctly ( screenshot (http://img257.imageshack.us/i/screenshotam.jpg/))
Here is my code - can anyone help fix this?
<table width="100%" border="0" bordercolor="#666666" cellpadding="1%" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#555555" >
