HTML & Lotus Notes

[mmorton23]

Hi Everyone,

When sending out HTML emails, I notice that Lotus Notes severly mis-formats my
message. I know Notes has issues with HTML. But here's the issue. Sometimes
I receive HTML emails, from others, and the email looks great. What are they
doing that I'm not? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. If anyone has
suggestions, please offer them.

Thanks!

They're probably not using Lotus Notes to send them... ?

Are you using CSS? Is it inline or in the body of the email?

Perhaps I should clarify myself. I send out emails through an online service.
I then test those emails in a number of different email applications (Hotmail,
Outlook, Lotus Notes, Yahoo!, etc.)

I use inline CSS. Notes recognizes the styles just fine. What it screws up
is the layout. A table that is supposed to be 200 x 144 is displayed in notes
as 50 x 250. The same email displays as it should all other applications.
Again, any explaination about how to overcome this (it seems other people have
before) is much appreciated!

Can you show some code where this is happening?

I can't show you the Lotus Notes code. I wish I could post a screen of what the email is supposed to look like and then a screen of how Lotus Notes renders the message.

[Murray *TMM*]

That would only show me how it's breaking without any clues as to why,
though.
