So what about those of us with Student and Teacher Edition who just want to open safe attachments (Word docs) emailed to myself? Is there no way to force Outlook 2003 to open Word 2007 automatically? Or is this another BIG screw-up by MS?

If this is such a problem to people, I got your solution.

SWITCH EMAILS

If you don’t liek outlook, then it’s time to use a different source.

What I tried doing was coding my html email as normal then I open it up in Word 07 to see what has been done to it. I just had to go back and forth between the two programs and of course use less CSS.

In the end it looks almost perfectly uniform in all email clients. It may be a pain but you can still do very advanced email templates with Outlook 07.

Microsoft. Pls. switch back to IE rendering. Otherwise, Thunderbird will be replacing your product sooner than you think.

This is not a threat. Just a fact.

We’re now experiencing the new “features” in Outlook 07. All I can say is Redmond better have a plan for upgrading this stone-age engine. It may be time to abandon HTML email all together and simply send text emails with a link to a Web version.

Why allowing the display of regular images and not background images? Makes no sense to me …
If you are not allowing the simplest of html don’t allow it at all.
Is like giving your kid the fork to eat only the crust of the pie.
No pie or full pie that’s what I think :)

I think you personally rave and banter about nothing, it is not the end of the world. You can use tables to design the best of a bad job anyway. Background images do work, providing you type the complete address of a file stored on your computer.

I think I read the first 20 comments before getting sick to death of reading any more about this issue. I was looking for help, because my solution is not the be-all-end-all but at least it helps.

That is not a solution. The issue is that a large number of the recipients of a HTML email may use Outlook 2007. The email client that the developer chooses to use personally has no effect on this situation.
