Hello.

I am trying to send HTML newsletters and it works fine in most email clients except Lotus Notes 8.

Problem:

Table size get converted to 100% width even though set to 640. I have tried to encapsulated everything into one table. Tried the following:

<table width=640>
<table width="640">
<table cellpadding=5 width=640>
<table cellpadding="5" width="640">

Apparently Lotus Notes render it like this:

<table width=3D100%>

Of course the table has be formatted correctly like so:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      Foobar
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
A: 

Try using CSS, here's a page with a list of CSS-standards and which are supported by what email-client:

Doesn't solve my problem. CSS won't work for some reason.
Cudos
Did you try applying CSS directly to the table (like `<td style="width: 640px;">`)? Some email-clients will cut and/or modify the head of HTML-mail and may therefore get rid of CSS that's defined in the `<head>` part of the mail.

You need to apply in-line CSS: it **does** work in Notes mail rendering (to a point)
