Subject: I am fed up.
I am so fed up with Outlook 2007!
The fact that Microsoft, being the so-called leader, thought that it was acceptable to push Outlook 2007, with Word as it's rendering agent, on us just highlights the problem that this company has had it's whole life. Microsoft does not fully assess the possible issues with their software before they foist it on the blinded masses.
I understand the concept behind the change, to use Word to create and display email messages, makes sense. But to wait until you have full CSS and HTML standards compliance may have been a good idea! What we are stuck with now is an email program which is incapable of handling HTML with CSS. No background images, what the heck were they thinking?!?
You have successfully set the email designers back five to ten years. If you truly appreciate my input as it says in your Terms of Use, you will do something about this situation now.
It is sad that you actually need to provide this:

I have been fighting with code for years, the fight has been with getting code to work properly in Internet Explorer and now with Outlook as well. Get a clue people. We are not the masses that you can manipulate, we are people with a free will. And if you keep ticking us off, we may all make the switch to a better OS and fix the problem ourselves, by removing you from the picture.
If you are a PC, you can now count us on opposing sides.
