MS Outlook + Word Email Template Issue

Post by iknownothing »

Hey Guys,
I have an email template using tables etc. It works perfect on normal use, however, when someone replies to an email with the template when they have "Edit Email in MS Word" checked, the whole thing falls apart.

I can't see how there would be a resolution, but if anyone can shed some light on why its doing it, it would be much apprieciated. I have a theory that Word (especially 2000) doesn't have use for CSS styling, which the template uses.


Cheers

Edit Email in MS Word
This means that Word will eat your code, crunch it, swallow some, spit out the rest and leave you with some garbage. You know, the stuff you always get from MS Word.

Anyway, I don't think there's a solution. Something edited in word will look ok in the same word installation on the same computer but nowhere else.
