title: Outlook 2010 and HTML Tables
body: <p>I am just creating some email newsletter, and I cannot figure out how force outlook to display my HTML table corectly.  </p>
  
  <p>There is simple example: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="outlookHack" 
     style="table-layout:fixed; border: 0; background-color: #1E6C9D; 
            background-image: url(http://www.komix.cz/upload/img_bg.png); 
            background-repeat: repeat-y; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; 
            padding: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; 
            text-align: center;width: 620px;" width="620"&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td width="10" style="width: 10px; background:inherit;" height="10"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td  width="600" style="width: 600px; background:ihnerit;" height="10"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td width="10" style="width: 10px; background:inherit;" height="10"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td width="10" style="width: 10px; background: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td  width="600" style="width: 600px; background: white;"&gt;some content...&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td width="10" style="width: 10px; background: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is, that left and right columns should have fixed size of 10px, but outlook 07/10 renders them as +/- 5px.  </p>
