title: MailChimp HTML Outlook Conditions
body: <p>I have spent most of the afternoon trying to find a solution to this problem.</p>
  
  <p>I have a HTML Email template that works fine on most devices but when viewing on Outlook 2013 (the only Outlook version I have access to to test it) it renders like a mobile device. I think I have tracked it down to the Outlook Conditions that i have contained in the code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!--[if (gte mso 9)|(IE)]&gt;
  &lt;table align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="500"&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
  &lt;td align="center" valign="top" width="500"&gt;
  &lt;![endif]--&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However when I open the email in Outlook, they have been changed to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!--/*SC*/ [if gte mso 9]&gt;
  &lt;center&gt;
  &lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="580"&gt;
  &lt;![endif] /*EC*/--&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I guess that it stands for SC = Start Comment and EC = End Comment.</p>
  
  <p>Am I right in saying that these are interfering with the Outlook Conditions? Dose anyone know how i can stop MailChimp from putting them in my template?</p>
