Outlook blocks the images, which is fine, but when it does this the formatting gets thrown off. I'd like to be able to keep the e-mail to the proper width even if the images are blocked. As soon as you allow the images everything looks fine.

Any help is apprectiated and here are screenshots to give you an idea of what i'm talking about

Messed up width:
[xs204.xs.to...]

Proper width:
[xs204.xs.to...]

Craig:

I'm not sure if you're creating email for distribution, or are just trying to read the email you receive.

Outlook will honor width= and height= parameters in HTML image tags, so if these are set, the email will format correctly, although you'll see a bunch of 'Right click here to download images'.

If width and height aren't specified in the email, Outlook displays a wide image placeholder that does make the message difficult to read. I don't know how to fix this on messages you've received.

I'm creating it for distribution for a company i just started with.

All the images do have height/width set, i'll have to keep testing I guess.

Thanks for the help
