My emails look different in Outlook than they do in Gmail, yahoo, etc ... I seem to be able to get the spacing and formatting correct for one email service, but then the words are cut off, on a second line, image isn't centered, etc ... in the other emali service ... any idea how to adjust for this?

Litmus and Email on Acid are your QA friends when it comes to optimizing for different clients. They're both paid services but invaluable because no editor will get it right all the time.

Hi Kelly, you may just need a few simple CSS adjustments.  If you would be open to share a link to your email or your code I would be happy to help you out.  This is probably an easy fix.

I am having the same issue. Outlook squeezes one my columns and the text wraps. It looks perfectly fine in Gmail and on my iPhone.

Can someone please help?
