This HTML won't work!!

Hi folks,

This very simple HTML table will not work in Outlook - works fine in
IE, FF, Thunderbird etc, but for some reason in Outlook it won't.
Basically it won't valign bottom properly. Is this a bug or something
I've done wrong?

The solution is to set a new table below our existing one, however I'd
like to know why it isn't working in the first place.

Thanks in advance.

Outlook 2007 uses Word as its rendering engine. Prior versions of Outlook
used Internet Explorer. Perhaps that's the explanation. Read this to see if
it explains the cause: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933793

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your help on this. I know Outlook uses Word - but surely if
you test this code, the way Outlook works is broken! This is a basic
valign issue, and unless i'm missing something, this is simply not
right.

To have a rant against the software here - they are forcing us to use
Word to create emails which makes them considerably larger which I'm
not prepared to do. Rant over.

Thanks

A
