Microsoft-outlook

In contrast, a standard Australian activist geageerd, and in such a way that there is considerable turmoil arose on Twitter. According to Dave Greiner of The Email Standards Project is clear from an early preview version that Outlook 2010 the same errors in the rendering of html as its predecessor.

Reason for this is that Microsoft is maintaining the engine of Word, which is much smaller than the rendering engine, for example IE8. The mail rendering engine used since Outlook 2007. Critics call it a huge mistake, because that engine is very limited in the creation of HTML pages. This is a limitation for people who want to prepare extended formatted mails. Moreover, in html emails are not displayed correctly in Outlook.

Greiner has therefore a Twitter action with its website set up Microsoft in an attempt to change its mind to. While the preview version of Outlook 2010 is not yet officially published, and Microsoft had not yet out that the Word engine maintenance, Redmond has already posted a response.

It's a feature, not a bug

In that blog post shows one of the heads of the Office division of Microsoft, William Kennedy, that are just feel extremely suitable for html rendering. Tools such as SmartArt and styles in Word to "Power of the Word in Outlook," says Kennedy. He criticizes the work of Greiner, according to him a maker of software for email marketing, and states that "there is no widely accepted consensus within the sector on which subset of html used for interoperability in e-mails."


The second reason for this choice is that the engine Word much less susceptible to attacks because it does not run Web Scripting. Thus, Kennedy or implied that the security of Internet Explorer right in that area greatly to be desired. How Greiner to preview the software that came his test, have not known.
