title: HTML E-mail Layouts Breaking When Forwarded - Make it Survive the Word 2003 HTML Editor
body: <p>My boss's clients are complaining that when some HTML newsletters are forwarded, their table-based layout breaks. I have determined that this is most likely caused by using the following option in Outlook:</p>
  
  <p>Tools > Options > Mail Format > Use Microsoft Office Word 2003 to edit e-mail messages</p>
  
  <p>My boss refuses to change this option and is demanding that I figure out a work-around. But I'm plain stumped. The e-mail that is breaking when forwarded with this option on is at <a href="http://www.egusts.com/stratham/stanford-square/10-0826/new/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.egusts.com/stratham/stanford-square/10-0826/new/</a></p>
  
  <p>Here's what happens when the Word 2003 HTML editor is done with it. No edits, just hit "forward" with that option selected - <a href="http://www.egusts.com/stratham/stanford-square/10-0826/new/alt/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.egusts.com/stratham/stanford-square/10-0826/new/alt/</a></p>
  
  <p>Here's an example that my boss forwarded me that makes it through just fine - <a href="http://www.egusts.com/stratham/stanford-square/10-0826/new/example.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.egusts.com/stratham/stanford-square/10-0826/new/example.html</a></p>
  
  <p>But I'm still really stumped. I have no clue what to do. I had thought my original template's table-html was really simple and straight-forward. What's breaking in the Word 2003 Editor? Why? Is it stripping some tags? Adding some tags that screws it up? Is there anything I can do?</p>
  
  <p>I'm at my wits end! Thanks for the help</p>
