    Hi Elliot, how curious! We’ve always been pretty wary about using forms in email, but perhaps it’s high time to revisit this topic. Will give it a test this week and let you know how we go – it could be another blog post for us! 😉

      yeah, it’s been a while since we’ve used them in anything to be honest, but we used to use them a lot. The other issue used to be with Hotmail, it used to show the fields but not let the form send – the work around for that was to look at the data for @hotmail addresses and send them something different (eg a module saying click here to search)

    The problem with this example is that neither Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010 support “display” — you can not hide an element using that unsupported piece of CSS. Essentially this conditional only allows you to ADD more elements if the mail recipient uses either Outlook 2007 or 2010.

      you’re right. I need to revisit this but I found a way to get around that. I think one of the ways was to use overflow and forced heights instead of display:none;
