For those who it didn’t work… are you adding to specifically and ONLY the images that are rendering bad? You shouldn’t make it work on all images.

hi all, we do a lot of QA testing across multiple accounts and browsers and found that adding style=”line-height:1px;” to the TD tag that contains the image fixes this problem.

BUT – it does NOT fix a 1pixel high horizontal TD cell with a background color and a 1pixel high translucent spacer gif.

The display:block trick didn’t work for me… (I have images in tables). But adding a font-size and a line-height (low values, like 1 or 2) to the TDs that contain the image, did.

Darrell

You are absolutely correct.

In the case of this fix rendering in Gmail and rendering in Entourage are mutually exclusive. So the choices are build 2 versions or choose to optimize for either Gmail or entourage – all our clients have opted for Gmail.

I guess you must have a lot of Mac users on your list

Good spot by the way

This code ‘fix” absolutely destroys the email when displayed in Entourage. For now we have decided to let the Gmail emails break. It’s the lesser of two evils.

It doesn’t appear to be required Joe since this is a style attribute for the img tag. I had to put in the extra quotes to ensure that WP wouldn’t remark it out in the post or go completely wonky and possibly launch a random ICBM or some such…

Good catch there…I’ve revised the post to be more clear.

jim

nice. Thanks. I’m not sure, but should your code example have a semi-colon before the last quote? Or maybe it doesn’t matter.

like
style=”display:block;”
instead of

style=”display:block”

Hi Joe,

We first saw tweets about the issue yesterday morning and then were notified by Alchemy Worx regarding the issue and posted immediately.
