HTML E-mail: Windows Live Hotmail Bug

Perhaps bug is too strong a word. Browsers other than Internet Explorer logged into Windows Live Hotmail see a tiny space between images. This page on bestwebezy.com discusses the reason and solution.

“Windows Live Hotmail renders HTML in standard mode. Any inline element (eg. img) in a table cell will be aligned to the text baseline. This allows space for any descenders that extend below the baseline for some letters.”

The fix: add style=”display:block;” on img tags.
