Q: 

html email template and justified text

Hi,

I've got an html email template (using table hell) with the resulting email looking fine in gmail and outlook 2003. In outlook 2007, the text is however not justified (instead it's left justified). Is there a work around for this?

The relevant code used:

<td style="text-align: justify;">

doctype:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;

Thanks

A: 

Looks like it might be a bug in Outlook 2007.

There isn't really a workaround either I'm afraid; it's probably just not possible.

Thanks, I expected just an odd quirk of outlook 2007. I'm surprised they broke it altogether compared to 2003.
