Customize Bullets in Email

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if you can customize the bullet feature in the email editor? I'd like to choose different bullets other than the standard black dots. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kelly,
I think that's just possible using HTML/CSS and not in the WYSIWYG editor.

Bullets, like most things with HTML emails, are not simple if you want to deviate from the standard. Newer versions of Outlook doesn't like list-style-image or list-style-type in the CSS.

The best workaround that I have found is simply using paragraph (<p>) tags to list my items, and preface them with the image or symbol I want as the actual bullet. <p><img src="mybullet.gif" alt="&bull;"> My first item</p>

You can try playing around with the CSS and see if you can get it to work, but make sure to run it through a rendering system to ensure it works properly across all clients.

Hi Matt, 
does your solution work with Outlook2007?

Yes, because my solution breaks it down from more complex CSS (list-style-type, list-style-image, etc.) to super basic: paragraph tags and images. It's still not perfect, but it was the closest I could get it.
