When we heard from Carl that "Word/Outlook 2007 HTML rendering engine does NOT fully support border styles, despite the official documentation saying otherwise", we ran a quick test of our own. That test confirmed that border styles, either inline or in the head of a document, do not render in Outlook 2007.
Here is how it should look
This is how Outlook 2007 renders the same code
Now that we have at least made contact with Google, it looks like Microsoft should be next on the list! Your ideas and suggestions are welcome. We also love to hear from you when you discover rendering issues like these, because we like to keep our reports accurate. You can email hello at emailstandards.org or leave a comment below.

Only a few days after the release of our 2008 Gmail Appeal video, we have had some success!
Although in the initial launch of the Email Standards Project we did not hear from Google at all, last week we heard from a Google Engineer who (although we can’t currently publish his name and details) is in a great position to investigate and perhaps make some improvements.
Thanks to the excellent 20% time offered to Google staff, a passionate engineer who has seen our video is going to use his time to explore what the situation is regarding Gmail’s rendering, and how it might be improved.
Although 20% of one person’s time might seem a small amount, it is a huge win that we have made contact with someone who has the right contacts and skills, and is willing to talk to us. Thanks go to everybody who took part in Project Gmail Grimace, and everyone who has promoted the Email Standards Project in any way.
We’re really excited about this, and looking forward to some progress at some point in the future. Please leave a comment thanking our Google friend below!

Recently we posted the Gmail Appeal video put together from many of your excellent photos. We couldn’t squeeze all the photos in unfortunately, and still the keep the video a reasonable length.
No need to lament if you missed out though, because here is your chance to download all the photos and put together your own Gmail video (or other project) to reach the right people at Gmail and start a conversation with them. Just download the zip file, which contains 60+ photos, plus an Email Standards Project logo and a Gmail logo, and get started.
Once you’ve got your project done, be sure to let us know and we can point to it from here too, so others can check it out. I’m sure you guys are full of excellent ideas and we’d love to see what you come up with.
