ForeverGeek has a side-by-side comparison (between Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2007) of an e-mail viewed in both rendering engines. This is horrible Microsoft, why would you do this? […]

Outlook 2007 Uses Word Rendering for HTML

This was news to me, but it does explain some of the weirdness in the HTML display in some of the Outlook e-mail messages I receive.
