    Hi Niven,

    Thanks for this awesome response. I've definitely had that forwarding issue in the past myself so I feel your pain!!

    The security setting was exactly what I thought as well. I did trawl the internet and through the settings of Outlook and couldn't find anything like this, but maybe it's some sort of add-in that the user's company has installed.

    I'll follow the steps you suggested and see if I can find out more information!

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Thanks for the response Kris. That was my initial thought as well, but it's not this particular issue as it's Outlook on Windows (not 365), the links aren't broken, and it's the domain of the URL (not the full URL) that's appearing beside the links.

    I'll keep investigating :)

    Hi Jaina,

    No, definitely no JavaScript or anything.

    My potential guesses, but haven't validated (as I don't have a Windows computer with Outlook to test with):

    • There's an external stylesheet for a web font.
    • There are some special characters encoded that might not be supported in html 5
    • There are tracking pixels (such as Litmus) in the Footer
    • Helvetica is one of my fallback fonts (I've seen a few threads where people have said that this causes Outlook to crash) - but this seems insane to me!?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Hi William, have you tried using the direction:ltr and direction:rtl options? It's used for writing text left-to-right (e.g. for Arabic). Using the usual display:block for table cells combined with the above direction it should work nicely for you.

    Here's some example code: 

    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<style>
@media all and (max-width: 600px)
{ 
.stack{display:block !important;}
}   
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table  dir="rtl"  width="100%">
<tr>
<td dir="ltr" align="center" class="stack" bgcolor="red">Right</td>
<td dir="ltr" align="center" class="stack" bgcolor="blue">Left</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

    Hi Annett... I don't go near Photoshop for email designing anymore. I just use wireframes and slot in the content later on. I then recode based on feedback from the clients. I often find the client doesn't know what they want until they see the email in their inbox.
