so, i get a lovely email from the programmer guy who's "above" me at work today...saying that i need to create an html email from a PSD that he's kindly attached to this email...about 5 minutes after researching this (i've never done it before and wanted to do it right), i find out that the whole thing has to be done in TABLES. NO styles...i have to use *shudder* spacer gifs and nested tables. it feels like i'm 13 again.

i challenge you guys...make a website without using ANY styles...it's really not easy :(
 
because the HTML readers in email clients don't read CSS. they change all html into proprietary formats (apparently) and this plays havoc with CSS...i tried a bit, and got moaned at for not doing as i'm told, and after trying it, outlook made it go all squiffy.
