Mail Templates- Why you shouldn’t

I was feeling very enterprising at work this morning (Im on lunch now) and decided to make a nice mail template for something I send out quite often. I didn’t need anything crazy but quickly found some guides and went to work.

You have to manually code via html/css your email template and do all sorts of stupid and useless things like generate plists to make it but here is the catch. Let us liken the generation of this email template to a cute puppy. This is what I made:

Look how awesome my template looks!

So I was really excited to test it out and send it to someone using outlook. What they got was very different, they got the equivalent of this:

ZOMG WHAT ISTHAT?!?!!? WHAT HAPPENED!?

So be aware, it’s not worth using apple mail templates because they look like crap when you send them to people.
