Does any one know how to format the email templates so that the width is shorter?

You need to adjust the table width. Take a look at a test html template code and look for the code near the top of the page. It'll look similar to this

<body> 
  <table style="width: 100%; background-color:#ffffff;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> 
 
        <tr> 
        <td style="vertical-align: top; padding: 10px" align="center" valign="top"> 
 
                <table style="width: 660px;text-align: left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> 

If you change 660px to something smaller, that should work. No guarantees though.

I've been struggling with the columns in my current email reminder that needs to go out tomorrow. Would this same command be applicable for a 2 column email template? It looks like every time I edit in the left column, the right column adjusts to accomodate it. My right column is always too skinny or too wide! Frustrated!
