I'm working for the fine Richard Maynard of Wessex Networks, trying  
to create an email broadcast/newsletter. Anyone who's done one of  
these things knows that they should be old-school table based... no  
probs. BUT Look at my beautiful news letter in Firefox or IE here:  
http://www.wessexnetworks.com/newsletter_issues/issue13/

Now compare this to the screen grab of how my beauty renders in  
Outlook 2007:  http://www.wessexnetworks.com/newsletter_issues/ 
issue13/outlook_2007.jpg

MU%&A F*&@ER!

I really am in danger of electrocuting myself  (tears of frustration  
pouring into the keyboard of my Mac Book Pro)

I know the tables could be neater and all, but is it really worth  
trying to tidy it up? Will Outlook 2007 ever display something  
acceptable? Would you suggest a plain-text news letter with a link to  
the actual page online? (I know it's a crap solution but) perhaps  
cheat and just have the whole thing as an image which when clicked  
links through to the online version.

Thanks
Shaun
