Re: Remove spacing between paragraph and bulleted list

Anonymous · ‎05-06-2014

In our product update emails to customers, we often have a bold header and then a bulleted list underneath. Ideally, we want no spaces between the two. I usually add a "margin-bottom: 0px;" style tag to the bold header and a "margin-top: 0px" style tag to the ul tag in the HTML editor. This shows up perfectly in Marketo - no excess spacing. However, when I send a sample to myself, the spaces magically reappear in Outlook. Any idea how I can circumvent this in the future?

Thanks

I actually have a document named "Outlook Sucks" where I keep notes about all the different peculiarities to remember for various email clients.

Outlook will also ignore inline !important styles from time to time, though I believe it's OK with them in the <head> section.

Unfortunately, you've really just got to screw around with everything and pretend it's 1995 when you're coding for Outlook.

Try adding !important to the tags and see if that does anything.

BTW Outlook sucks 🙂
