<![CDATA[LOL.]]>LOL. From over at the bad site:

An html email will crash Outlook.

Granted, it's "harmless" (stack overflow (exhaustion)), but I dunno... I sort of expect the act of rendering an HTML email that uses CSS to not crash my mail client?

You mean Outlook (classic) or Outlook (new)? πŸ˜‚

It’s so irredeemably bad in every way.

How can one have an HTML email without mso-element support? πŸ˜‚

I think that wwlib.dll (Microsoft Word) was indpendently developed from IE or any of the other web engines that may be present on Windows.

Markdown ok, but HTML...

But what else is Outlook supposed to use to render HTML emails? πŸ˜‚

well, tbf, html mail rendering has always been a security concern in general and nobody should have it enabled by default
