Thanks for this. How did you ensure that Outlook and others didn’t add inline-css padding on top of old style HTML cellpadding?

Does it not double up? I hate Google for doing this!

Gmail still has this bug after a year. Shame on you google, shame on you.

Can’t explain how grateful I am that this fix has been incorporated – I was tweaking and retweaking my templates to get the inline-CSS working. Then I discovered Mailchimp’s glorious templates, and have never looked back!

Hi Rebecca, we’re currently working on tweaking our templates, so I’ll definitely send this comment over to the user experience team. Thanks!

I am SOOO glad that you have done this! (Although I already started on a new campaign using the old template, alas.)

You know what would be completely awesome? If we were somehow able to easily transfer the styles between templates, making copying and pasting text and background colors less of a thing.
