I'm still struggling with... well... the newsletter system. (after give up from phplist and the encoding issues, I'm now trying to use poMMo btw) :s So, I'm not even on the layout part so... yes, it's on time. The image should be important, not the product image (it will have agriculture products so, they don't sell "by pretty") but the company image is important. Since I was on my way to learn CSS I'm feeling this table approach always like a drawback... but I know I know... we cannot control the internet... :s I will take a look of how other companies send they newsletters. That was a good tip that I forgot.

[css-d] Can we create a newsletter in CSS
I might be a bit late with my post. I think the best information about newsletters you can get by subscribing and observing letter from the respectful companies of the similar business. The safest is hybrid layout, the tabled one. I saw that lots of companies are just slicing pictures with text and it looks good,readable and nice. The chose should depend on what business you are in, what is more important in your newsletters the actual text(information) or the product display(pictures).

A reasonably large part of my job is cutting HTML e-mails and my advice is to use tables and inline styles. Be very careful about what CSS properties you use (see: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/). Although that list is a very useful resource you should also test everything you do, especially when you're not used to the display quirks of various e-mail clients, because Outlook has some strange behaviour. Indeed I had a discussion via e-mail with one of the guys from Campaign Monitor earlier this week when I finally was able to test some of my e-mails on Outlook 07, and I was shocked to see that despite Campaign Monitors' testing padding was not working on my e-mails in Outlook 07. I did some more testing and it appears the padding property DOES work, but only on table cells. So my advice is to code like it's 1997, and test in everything you can. Sometime next week I'll write a post on my blog detailing some of the practical techniques I use, which you may find useful. Be warned though, my approach is 100% targeted towards pixel perfection and doesn't take into account accessibility issues raised by HTML e-mail. Unfortunately I don't feel accessible HTML e-mail is realistic with the current platforms (mainly Outlook 07). So at least send a plain text version as well.

[css-d] Can we create a newsletter in CSS
Hello all, I'd like to know if it's possible, today, to style a newsletter using CSS. I'm concerning about the compatibility issues, but, have any of you tried this, what are your thoughts about this?
