Text in HTML table not rendering/reducing in iPhone Mail - html

The text blocks inside my table do not render correctly when viewed in Apple Mail on the iPhone. However, the text appears fine on Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010, and Apple Mail on the desktop. On the iPhone it does not reduce with the rest of the email. The body email appears to render correctly, but not the footer text (both of which are inside tables). The only other place the text does not appear correctly is the date line at the top.
This is the portion of the style sheet affecting the footer:
.FooterText {
font-size: 7pt;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
vertical-align:top;
line-height: 11pt;
}
a.FooterLink {
font-size: 7ptem;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF
}
.RegisteredFooterText {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 6pt;
font-style: normal;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
This is the code for the footer area:
<table width="650" border="0" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 bgcolor="#0064C8">
<tr>
<td width="2%"> </td>
<td width="19%" style="padding-top: 15px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom:25px" class="FooterText"><p class ="FooterText"><strong>Unsubscribe</strong></p>

I've tried some a media query to reduce the font size but doesn't seem to work either:
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
.FooterText {
font-size: 5pt;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
vertical-align:top;
line-height: 8pt;
}
a.FooterLink {
font-size: 5pt;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF
}
.RegisteredFooterText {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 4pt;
font-style: normal;
text-align: center;
}
}

First of all use text size in pixels, and add this in your style: -webkit-text-size-adjust:none;
ie:
.FooterText {
font-size: 5pt;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
vertical-align:top;
line-height: 8pt;
-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;
}

What does the text within the curly brackets (and the vertical lines within them) represent?

See below:
<p
style="margin: 0px; text-align: left; color: #666666; line-height: 25px;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">
• {|FeatureFour|}</p>
So the above, is a standard paragraph tag but with the extra text (which seems like some sort of variable);
The code is from a random markup file I came across, I am curius to see what it represents.
&bull gives you to use a bullet mark and the {|FeatureFour|} is the content inside the <p> tag, so {|FeatureFour|} is just a paragraph content
<p
style="margin: 0px; text-align: left; color: #666666; line-height: 25px;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">
• {|FeatureFour|}</p>
<p
style="margin: 0px; text-align: left; color: #666666; line-height: 25px;

The expected result and result on Outlook, Gmail is
But the result on Outlook App is
Is there any solution to make design consistent on Outlook Mail App too?
Outlook tends to ignore inline style image sizes. Add width="150" which will correct Outlook growing. Outlook will ignore margins placed on the image. Add a padding to the table cell instead.

Outlook doesn't support Montserrat. It doesn't work with webfonts, so it's using Arial as it's fallback. This is risky because it might default to Times New Roman, making everything serif.
Good luck.

HTML Email Image/Product name issues in Outlook PC

I am running into an issue with Outlook PC not wanting to place nicely with my product images and product names.
Across all other email clients we have tested, the names appear below the products as we expected, however with Outlook PC we are getting the product names bumping up next to the image like this -
Product names next to image
My question is how do we make it stop? Haha. I have included the code for one of the products to show what we are doing, but have removed links to our site for obvious reasons.

First Christmas Personalized Ornament
</a>
</td>
<!-- // End Product 1 -->
I'm thinking the text needs to be wrapped up in something, but I'm just not sure what or how. So any advice, tips, or help would be greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if you need anymore details from me on what the code looks like. With HTML emails being inlined, most all of our styling is right there, other than some mobile specific stuff.
Thanks in advance everyone!
I think if you put "First Christmas Personalized Ornament" text in span element and add style="display:block;" to the span, it will be fixed.

There are 2 columns/cells in this section and both are sitting with a massive gap between the (missing) logos and the text above it and I can't figure out how to close it...
Please help!
Thanks
P.S. the top code is not to the end. But I wasn't allowed to show the rest as it was "too much HTML" not enough question...
I HAVE THE ANSWER -
at the very end the
is after & and should be before them.
Simple as that. Swapped it in front and all fixed!
First of all, this is NOT how you use tables!
W3Schools Tables Link
Secondly, the space after each email field is the margin for the h5 tag. See that all your data is wrapped in an h5 tag? Those provide a top-bottom margin. Try removing it to see the effects. You cant call these "cells" because you are not wrapping the individual items in td tags.
Also, dont forget to close your tables.

Table in cfmail tag

All the data is coming from a query which i am looping through to send emails to different people. I need the data concerning one person to be displayed in a tabular format. I'm not sure what i am doing wrong here since this is the first time i am trying to use HTML/CSS in an email.
You need to use the type="html" attribute on the CFMAIL tag.
You might also want to consider wrapping your HTML content in the appropriate HTML and Body tags, as you would normally expect from a HTML template.
<cfmail from="ABC#xyz.com"
to="#InvestigatorEmail#"
subject="Reminder #flagReminder#:: Incident Report: #report_number#"
type="html">

Hope this works for you?
Also note, that your issues may be due to the complexities of using CSS in emails...which is always a pain. CSS support in emails is limited and very basic. This isn't a ColdFusion / CFML issue, it's just the way HTML emails are today.
I would recommend moving your CSS to be 'inline' on the HTML tags themselves, as email clients often strip out the STYLE tags.
Mikey.
It's really simple, you just need to add a type to your cfmail tag. It would look something like
<cfmail to="recipient" from="sender" subject="subject" type="html"></cfmail>
Alternatively, you can specify the HTML part using the cfmailpart tag. This also allows you to specify a separate plaintext version for anyone who might be using a mail browser that won't render HTML.
e.g.
<cfmail>
<cfmailpart type="html">... your table here ...</cfmailpart>
<cfmailpart type="text">A plaintext version for everyone else</cfmailpart>
</cfmail>
NB: don't specify both the type="html" on the <cfmail> tag AND the <cfmailpart> tags together. Either do one or the other (it's simpler to just do the type="html" on the <cfmail> but I prefer to do both plaintext and HTML).
