Uh... That's actually a very good idea. Thanks.

I'll stick for a while with my "solution" though because I'd like to have more control over the generated code.

Many colleagues are non techies and think if cut and paste doesn't produce reliable results, it's the fault of the programmer.

Telling them repeatedly that HTML emails are not meant to work like PDF doesn't help at all.

so I have to train the software to annoy them... ;)
