About three weeks ago Hotmail applied the set of changes to hosted accounts. Although updates are meant to do good, unfortunately this time something went wrong. Please take a closer look at the issue.

Here’s the same email creative before and after the changes. Can you spot the difference?

You can see in the picture above that the background colors and default content position are misplaced. Hard to say what causes this problem, but very easy to make it disappear.
The Return Path Team investigated thouroughly and found out a solution. They published an article about managing background colors in Hotmail on Firefox. Looks like setting a background color using the body tag is completely ignored, therefore an additional measure needs to be taken. Just insert the following in-line style into your HTML code inside the troubling table part:
< style=”table-layout:fixed” >
Simple and effective. Everything should be displayed properly from now on.
Please, share your experience if you faced this issue.
