    HTML Unordered List Display Issues Outlook vs Internet Explorer

    Hello,

    I generated an excel macro that opens up outlook and generates an email with an email body in HTML format that is shown below. The problem is it looks different when I try the code in the Real-Time HTML Editor (2nd attachment) (http://htmledit.squarefree.com/) versus MS Outlook (1st attachment) as Outlook seems to add a line break between the underlined section and the list objects underneath it. I want to display it as it is shown in the Real-Time HTML Editor and was wondering if you could tell me what am I doing wrong?

    Thank You,

    Richard

    You aren't doing anything intrinsically wrong, you're dealing with what are typically referred to as default style sheets. Essentially email design is horrendous, HTML doesn't display they way it should and it's different in every email client; even different versions of outlook render emails differently.

    What this means is that you essentially have to inline all the style properties that you need. I.e you have to manually set the margins, padding etc on all the elements - even then they might not always be consistent though it's all good fun!

    Ps if you get it working how you want in outlook, don't expect it to display correctly in gmail, thunderbird, iOS mail, outlook web access, outlook.com etc they're all different!

    Thanks. Yeah I suspected it but was hoping I was just doing something wrong.
