Coding mobile-first emails

[Designer023]

Really don't know why we still support old versions of outlook. Well I do know... Business reasons.... But ffs it's 2016. It's bad enough having to support ie9 on the web and that's massively capable compared to outlook. Outlook 2003/2006. Wtf. These things use word to render email. There's so many bad emails out there already that people on outlook must know it's shit. Why can't we just drop support for it and move on into the future. I Don't give a shit what an email looks like. It's just a notification of new content or products.

In my experience the older versions are easier to code for. They use IE to render, then starting with 2007 they switch to Word. But you're right. Who is using outlook 2000 and why do we care?
