You are able to use inline css.

What are you trying to display in the email?

I am trying to display nested tables.

if i use one table and use "colspan" this also does not work.

What exactly is wrong?

It's rather difficult to determine the problem without knowing much else.

for example if i try :

Code: Select all

    <table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="2">
        <tr>
            <td>Name</td>
            <td colspan="2">Abdul Mannan</td>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Name</td>
            <td>Abdul Mannan</td>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
        </tr>
</table>
It will not show the colspan column.

That's weird. Have you tried declaring some td widths to help outlook out a bit. Not really sure if this will do anything but I know Outlook is rather strict with content.

Which Outlook are you using?
