New Outlook Won't Use IE To Render HTML
loconet writes to tell us about a little surprise coming in Outlook 2007: it will render HTML email using the MS Word engine, dropping the use of IE for this purpose. This represents a body-check to the movement towards Web standards. Whatever you think about HTML email, lots of it gets generated, and those generating it won't be able to use CSS any more, and may stop pushing for more widespread standards support. The announcement was made on MSDN. From the Campaign Monitor post: "Imagine for a second that the new version of IE7 killed off the majority of CSS support and only allowed table based layouts. The web design world would be up in arms! Well, that's exactly what the new version of Outlook does to email designers."

It should be sent before XX/XX/20XX at X O'clock (if it is a local business, at 9 in the morning because people are reading their emails).
You do realise that there is no guaranteed delivery speed for email, right? Its not instant messaging.
An email could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to arrive; this is completly within the accepted operating parameters of email as a communication system.
You shouldn't assume that email sent at X O'clock will arrive by a certain time, nor should you represent to your client that this can be expected to be the case as it is simply not true.
In the free world the media isn't government run; the government is media run.
From nowI on or
