MS Outlook: Image as bullet point for newsletter

[Ailsa_C]

Hi,
Just wondering is there a css code that works with MS Outlook to show an image as bullet point?
The code I’ve used is:

ul {list-style-type: square;
    list-style-image: url("images/bulletsml.png");
    list-style-position: inside; padding-left: 1px}
    
    li {padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;}
    li a {color: #2d6693;  text-decoration: none;}

When I look at it on Outlook the bullet image is enormous! Most other mail clients are fine.
(Apologies if this has been covered somewhere else – I searched but couldn’t find anything).
Many thanks.

That’s Outlook…it doesn’t handle HTML emails well…at all.

Here’s a handy list of CSS properties that are/aren’t supported by various email clients.

list-style-image, list-style-position and list-style-type are not supported in Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010.

Thanks Paulie_D! I looked at that – I wonder is there a way around css so the images appear in other mail clients (as normal which they do) but don’t appear as massive images in Outlook? Maybe not!
Thanks

Not really…AFAIK.
