Bullet spacing in Outlook 2007/2010 is giving me persistent problems.

Gorgalore · 12th March 12, 08:32 PM

The email newsletters I am designing look fine on every email client except Outlook 2007/2010, which Microsoft decided would use the Word engine to render HTML. This is as bad as working in IE. Maybe worse.

My persistent problem is with bullet spacing. Every time, no matter what, the bullets come out in Outlook looking like this: http://imgur.com/lPBgz

Notice the extra indent spacing on the second line.

I have tried all kinds of CSS to fix this. I don't know what to do short of using an image or the bullet character and tables to emulate the ul element. I don't know what to do, and hoping someone can help me figure this out.

Have you set text-index to 0? Have you tried forwarding it to a web based e-mail and then used a developer tool to look at the code?
