I think they start with a concept for a layout, and only really start putting in "content" at the very last stage. Starting from content is the, relatively low status, job of a technical author. The tools are designed for the, high status, job of advertising executive. Quite likely the layout concept comes from someone with no understanding of HTML/CSS and it is the job of the authors to match that as closely as possible, using any tactics available, and not to be limited by good practice. The layout may well be just a mock up, with greeked text. > > PS!

They will only pander to standards because standards conformance improves the buzzword count. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
