Hello Kirk,
And will it recognise the <br> is a paragrapgh and not a space.
And is'nt it true that the <br> tag is now <br />
And would W3C validate with no <p> in sight?
I am still at the learning stage.
Kate

I've felt the pain recently of learning the email ropes and want to
jump in this discussion with a few tips.
To be extra safe, here are my gleanings:
Pretend it's 1997.
Use inline styles. Do not link to an external style sheet. Do not use
a style section.
Use tables for your layout. Do not position anything with CSS. Padding
and margins are even unreliable. Remember: 1997.
Do not use vertical padding or margins, such as on a <p> tag. Use
<br>s instead.
Find an online tool to test your campaigns in a variety of email
readers. I've been using MailChimp's Inbox Inspector (3 tests for $14,
and I used a LOT in the beginning, not so many now).
Good luck,
Kirk
