A heads-up for anyone who sends HTML emails with CSS styling:   Justin has (elsewhere) recommended a March 2004 article at A List Apart, titled "CSS and Email, Kissing in a Tree," as an excellent primer on how to construct CSS-styled emails so they come out the way they're supposed to at the receiving end. And it's still available at:   http://www.alistapart.com/articles/cssemail/   However, the discussion that followed the article on the ALA site has recently been deleted with their late ...Continue Reading

Okay, I just fixed and uploaded "Bug #4" (the default_list_template's IE width problem), using a couple of Tan hacks. They're well commented (with a tinyURL link) for people coming across them for the first time, ...and actually, they don't look all that bad in there, considering. :-) While fixing that "last" bug, I also -- in the same spirit of keeping default_list_template as clean and hack-free as possible -- moved the: hack that I'd used to clear the header's floats into default_css instead, w ...Continue Reading

> Using /nested/ div's > seems to be a throwback to nested tables Thank you, sincerely, for your "philiosophical" preamble on this, Justin. Something was really bothering me about "Option #1", ...and the above comment of yours, plus: > There's going to be another group of people who are going to change > the layout/design of their lists using the list template function , have helped clarify what that nagging little voice was worried about.

Yup, I'll have my work done right away.... But am I the only tester out there who doesn't think they'll keep up with such a quick release schedule, and may skip one of the above?
