    Confirmed Gmail is clipping out classes.

    New Gmail:
    <td align="center" class="m_-479394985413246757mobile-rec" style="font-size:0px;padding:0 0 0 0;word-break:break-word">
    Old Gmail:
    <td align="center" style="font-size:0px;padding:0 0 0 0;word-break:break-word">

    So I assume you've already used insights from https://litmus.com/community/discussions/151-mystery-solved-dpi-scaling-in-outlook-2007-2013
    or https://blog.jmwhite.co.uk/2014/03/28/solving-dpi-scaling-issues-with-html-email-in-outlook/

    Try doing all widths as inline styles and adding a wrapper table (ghost or not) that matches any <td> content width--if there is no wrapper already. Avoid anything but pixels and percentages. I'd try width="600" and then inline width: 100%. So both your table and table cell should have an inline style matching the desired width.

    Also add a <style> to the head with
    table {
    table-layout: fixed;
    margin: 0 auto;
    border: none;
    }
    table table{
    table-layout: auto;
    margin: 0 auto;
    border: none;
    }

    if you have not already done so.

    And is your XML defined? <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">

    Replied to Discussion: Gmail desktop clients ignoring line-height and adding more vertical spacing? by Stephen Baker 2018-01-18 16:36:53

    Can you post the table code snippet?

    My immediate, unorganized and potentially incorrect thoughts are:

    • switch to using % instead of pixel (try line-height: 100% !important)
    • inheriting from something and overriding, try adding the line-height in a separate <style> in the header and target it with a class selector (make !important)
    • doctype maybe causing issue with line height model for some random reason? - gmail should default to html5
    • something in header style overriding
    • try wrapping with <div style="line-height: 20px !important">

    Nest in a ghost table with a width of whatever the max desktop width should be.

    <!--[ if gte mso 9 ]-->
    <table width="600" style="width: 600px !important . . .
    . . .

    There also appears to be syntax validation errors (unclosed floating tags).

    Is your email vertically longer than 1800px?

    Try adding this right before the end of your <head> tag:

    <!--[if gte mso 15]><xml>
    <o:OfficeDocumentSettings>
    <o:AllowPNG/>
    <o:PixelsPerInch>96</o:PixelsPerInch>
    </o:OfficeDocumentSettings>
    </xml><![endif]-->

    What element are you adding line-height to?

    Should avoid styling any <p> tags as it has awkward CSS support across clients.
