Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
For my work, we have spent a lot of time designing on of our daily
emails that goes out. When this email comes in to Evolution, it is not
rendered exactly correct. A screenshot is attached.
A few things that are incorrect:
* The <table> that contains the majority of the content is supposed to have a
1 pixel black border around it.
* The cell that contains the majority of the text should have a few pixels of
padding
* The 225x200 advertisement image should have a 1 pixel black border around it
as well as a few pixels of padding on its left side.
That is a complete list, from what I can see right now.
Let me state that Microsoft Outlook 2007 is the only other browser that
shows these mistakes because Microsoft, in their arrogance, decided that
THEY should decide how emails look. Although in MS Outlook 2007, the
background image behind the text also doesn't load (not allowed).
It is generally accepted in the world of web designing that Microsoft
has continued along the path of arrogance and stupidity when making
THEIR rules for Outlook '07 CSS rendering. That being the case, I am
hoping that Evolution's CSS rendering hasn't been fashioned after
Outlook 2007. In general, it should be more fashioned after Firefox.
Just because Evolution ISN'T a web browser, doesn't mean it shouldn't
render the way a web browser does. That's the point of HTML email.
The email looks correct in the majority of other email programs and
websites, such as Outlook 2003, Outlook Express, gmail, yahoomail,
hotmail, etc.
I have attached two screenshots:
- Incorrect rendering in Evolution
- Correct rendering in Yahoo mail
