Pushing the Envelope of Email
summary
Claims specific tradeoffs and working techniques: table layouts are only required for ~7% of opens (Outlook desktop), so use divs with ghost tables via MSO conditional comments as fallback; rem has ~80% support so use a wrapper + max(16px,1rem); position:absolute is ~50% but can be faked with max-height/width zero, margins and z-index hacks (opacity 0.999); 57% support interactive email (checkboxes/radios, hover/focus) and 84% form support (use GET fallback); demos include a live store locator, appointment booking, a CSS/VML guitar (manually convert SVG to VML) and page‑flip magazine — all functional where supported.
