• Microsoft takes email design back 5 years - Campaign Monitor Blog
  I spent a lot of time at my last job working on consumer email, Notes was always the worst. I think the HTML formatting in Outlook 2007 is going to be worse than Notes and that’s really saying something.

I’ve got a love/hate with this one. On the one hand I’ve always hated gaudy, saturated emails and I do like the idea of a smaller footprint for Outlook’s email rendering… (even though it was probably made smaller to make room for the “ribbon”) -

But the idea of rolling back functionality is a bit nonsensical in my mind unless it’s for the sake of removing security vulnerabilities.

I use Outlook 2007 for work but that’s about it though - otherwise I use Thunderbird or web mail.
