Rogier, Thanks; I read the articles. And, they caused me to remember some other articles I didn’t read but have now read.

Rogier, thanks for the tip. The newsletter archive is aready under development, so basically with the next newsletter we will probably add the ‘view this newsletter online’ link.

@Marko: untill Lotus Notes 8 comes out, which has a better support for html/css, I’d suggest adding a link at the top of your html e-mail with which leads to an online version of your newsletter.

From Campain Monitor’s blog:

What can I say, it aint pretty this year. Basically, you’ll notice a lot more crosses in the Outlook 2007 column than the 2003 column. The combination of Lotus Notes and Outlook 2007 basically leave the CSS layout option for dead. It’s tables and basic CSS for the PC based email environments unfortunately.

@Sean: if you read some of the articles at campaign monitor’s blog, you’ll quickly learn that tables and inline styles are unfortunately the way to go for html e-mails, especially with webbased mail applications in mind.

Why was the decision made to use inline CSS styles?

@Rogier: I’m curious, too. You sound like a guy that’s well informed about the Lotus Notes issues. It would be awesome if you could test it and help us all better understand constrains when developing HTML e-mails.

I’d be curious to see how it looks with images turned off in a preview pane. Gorgeous as it stands in any case.
