HTML absolute positioning e-mail problems

[starfry]

Hello,

I am using CR2008 and produce reports in HTML that are emailed to internal and external recipients. The internal recipients get their mails fine and they look great. The external mails get an company disclaimer tagged on the end and this causes the emails to be malformed - the disclaimer appears overlaid on the report.

The reason for this is because the Crystal generated HTML uses absolute positioning. The disclaimer is added as a final DIV within the BODY section of the HTML. Because this is not positioned appropriately it appears overlaid.

Also, this absolute positioning causes forwarded emails to be malformed also.

Is there a way to produce HTML output that does not rely on CSS absolute positioning, or has anyone else experienced this issue who can suggest a solution?

Many thanks,
John

I've experienced these same issues (and even more problems with Outlook 2007 as a client).

This caused me to add functionality to my software that allows users to design an HTML email message with content from the report embedded in the message.

Sounds like you wrote your own application, so you could try to do something similar.
