Outlook, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes, Novell Groupwise, Eudora, Mozilla Mail etc
AFAIK (untested):
* Outlook / Outlook Express will use the rendering engine of IE on that machine
* Mozilla Mail uses the Gecko rendering engine independent of which Mozilla browsers are installed on the PC
I dont know about others, but I do know that HTML mail is fraught with formatting difficulties. It may be wise to send emails in dual HTML/Text format, I think this is possible so that Text only email clients see the text and HTML capable clients see the HTML. This method will obviously increase (roughly double) the emails size.

*****************************************************Hi All
I've got an HTML email that I need to prepare for a client. The mockup can be seen at:
HTML: http://mark.gruden.com/beerworth/ CSS: http://mark.gruden.com/beerworth/lib/main.css
We didn't design it, we just did the HTML & CSS work. An initial review by the designers (MAC users) has resulted in them coming back saying there are padding/margin issues on Safari 1.1.1 and IE 5.2. Bascially the blue area on the right side (the bit starting with "You are subscribed to...) has a couple of pixels white space at the top & bottom. This blue should be sitting flush with the header & footer.
I've tested it on IE 5.1.7 (it looks fine), but don't have access to either of these other browsers.
I've got two questions:
1) What mail client are available on the MAC and what browsers do they use for rendering HTML content?
2) What is causing this issue and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance.....
Mark
