I learned recently that this is still how a lot of email html get generated.

Apparently Outlook (the actual one, not the recent pretender) still uses some ancient WordHTML version as the renderer, so there isn’t much choice.

		Fun fact: until Office 2007, outlook used IE’s engine for rendering html.

Oh yeah, recently I had to update a newsletter design like that and older versions of outlook still didn’t render properly.
