NEW Outlook Email Format is messing up

Dear ReUnite,

If you're experiencing formatting issues in Outlook emails, especially when using HTML text, here are some troubleshooting steps to consider:

1. Check Email Clients:
   • Verify if the formatting issues persist across different email clients. Sometimes, email clients interpret HTML differently, leading to variations in how emails appear.
2. Use Inline Styles:
   • When formatting emails with HTML, consider using inline styles instead of external style sheets. This can help ensure that the styling is preserved across different email clients.
3. Avoid Unnecessary Styles:
   • Minimize the use of complex or unnecessary styling, as certain email clients may not fully support all CSS styles. Stick to simpler formatting for better compatibility.
4. Test in Web Version:
   • Check how your emails appear in the web version of Outlook (Outlook on the web). This can provide insights into how the email is intended to look, as it tends to have better HTML rendering.
5. Update Outlook:
   • Ensure that you have the latest version of Outlook installed. Updates may include bug fixes and improvements related to email rendering.
6. Verify Receiver's Settings:
   • Ask recipients to check their email client settings, as some clients allow users to adjust the way emails are displayed. Ensure that the issue is consistent across various recipients.
7. Use Plain Text for Simplicity:
   • If HTML formatting is causing too many problems, consider using plain text for simplicity. While it may not allow advanced formatting, it ensures a consistent appearance across different email clients.
8. Contact Microsoft Support:
   • If the issues persist, contact Microsoft Support for assistance. They may be able to provide specific guidance based on your account and configuration.

Responses:

1. Check Email Clients:
   • Checked in the office someone using Outlook too and out of the office someone using GMAIL. The email format looks good when I send and messes up when received.
2. Use Inline Styles:
   • I start composing my emails in Outlook and do not copy over from another app with their style sheet.
3. Avoid Unnecessary Styles:
   • Tried this spacing and the alignments still mess up.
4. Test in Web Version:
   • The web version looks good when I compose and the receiver reports back that they still see the spacing and alignment issues. I went back to the old Outlook desktop and I am not having formatting issues after I sent it. It is definitely a NEW Outlook/ web version outlook issue.
5. Update Outlook:
   • Yes, I do I even had my IT guy check.
6. Verify Receiver's Settings:
   • It is not the receiver as it happens across all receivers I send to on many different email servers; Outlook, Gmail, yahoo, and Apple on someone's phone.
7. Use Plain Text for Simplicity:
   • I tried to go to plain text to compose but it messes up my signature that has links in it and there are some things I need a little more formatting for.
8. Contact Microsoft Support: to get no response?!? People on the internet tend to be more helpful.

I STILL NEED A SOLUTION OR FOR MICROSOFT TO FIX THIS.

Exact same issue here. Just switched to New Outlook and the formatting is terrible

I am having the same issue. I feel like it started happening after the last update. This is not acceptable. Sending out professional emails to businesses and they look normal when sending, but they receive them and they are a mess. Doesn't matter if I write up an email template using a word document or write up the email in Outlook.

I had the same problems everyone else described, then I saw a box at the top of my screen called "Immersive Reader". It was on. I turned it off and got all of my previous formatting back.

I hope that helps.
