Ben M. Schorr,

You are dead wrong!

First, try to save an HTML email that Outlook 2007+ has received with HTML/CSS that Word does not support and then display it in any web browser. You will find that the received HTML has been manipulated, not preserved as sent. So this is not just a rendering problem!

Second, Word rendering lacks more than CSS support. See Microsoft's knowledge base article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338201.aspx for details. The truth is UGLY!

My opinion is that they should fully support HTML via the IE rendering engine as an option. If there really are corporate users that prefer the scaled back Word rendering engine then they can choose that option.
