Marketo Email Template Editor strips off mso conditional comment when creating new email

Hi, 

 

I am currently creating our company's brand-specific email template with some reusable modules for our marketers. I am trying to make it compatible with outlook desktop clients particulary the old versions. However, when creating new email instance from my template, i've noticed it has stripped off some conditional mso comments from the template e.g.

 

   <!--[if mso | IE]></td></tr></table><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="width:800px;" width="800" ><tr><td style="line-height:0;font-size:0;mso-line-height-rule:exactly;"><v:image style="border:0;height:469px;mso-position-horizontal:center;position:absolute;top:0;width:800px;z-index:-3;" src="${hero2BgImage}" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><![endif]-->
