This HTML won't work!!

Hi folks,

This very simple HTML table will not work in Outlook - works fine in
IE, FF, Thunderbird etc, but for some reason in Outlook it won't.
Basically it won't valign bottom properly. Is this a bug or something
I've done wrong?

The solution is to set a new table below our existing one, however I'd
like to know why it isn't working in the first place.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your help on this. I know Outlook uses Word - but surely if
you test this code, the way Outlook works is broken! This is a basic
valign issue, and unless i'm missing something, this is simply not
right.

To have a rant against the software here - they are forcing us to use
Word to create emails which makes them considerably larger which I'm
not prepared to do. Rant over.

Thanks
