I didn&#8217;t need anything crazy but quickly found some guides and went to work.<\/p>\n<p>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:<br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 330px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Look how awesome my template looks!\" src=\"http:\/\/invitrofertilitygoddess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cute%20puppy.jpg\" title=\"cute puppy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Look how awesome my template looks!<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>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:<br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.roslynoxley9.com.au\/images\/galleries\/PiccininiVeniceBien_2003\/001.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[240]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"ZOMG WHAT ISTHAT?!?!!?
