CSS styles for Outlook newsletter emails

[S8creative]

Hi,
I created an html template for a blog newsletter, and will use Captec’s CRM platform to send out these emails to clients.

Only issue is :
My CSS styles are not “understood” by Outlook (and Mail) and the fonts are completely off.

I’ve tried adding a conditional comment, designed for MSO, but it didn’t work.

Any advice would be very helpful !
Thank you

Conditional comments for CSS aren’t (as I recall) recognised in emails generally.

There’s a reason most email templates are still based on actual tables.

For a comprehensive guide on what is and isn’t supported by various email clients I recommend https://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/

It comes down to the basics really. If you try and get too special it breaks.

Best to strip it down and just do a lot of linking to a main webpage.

Hi Paulie,
Thank you for your response.
Mmhh.. too bad for the conditional formatting. : /

When you say “based on actual tables”.
This is actually how my page is built.
If I include the styles directly into each table, do you think it would work?

Thank you for the tips.. I’ll check your link as well.
