I make that ASAP

I added a comment to https://gist.github.com/elidickinson/9424116 that centers the button and changed the default template to support the button method. I'll work on the logo in a separate merge request.

Hi @throrin19,
Thanks for the report!

Is this happening in the default Mailgen theme? What version of Outlook?

[throrin19]

It's an extension of the default theme with only the header background and text color changed.

For outlook, it's the version 2016

@throrin19 Could you try sending with other themes? E.g. salted or cerberus?

[throrin19]

I've test with the original theme and the neopolitan theme and this is the result :

In the default theme, the button is not visible and, in the neopolitan theme, Outlook seems to add text decoration in the <a> tag

OK I found problems.

For the logo : Outlook >=2013 only support images with the width setted directly like that :

<-- This image will be resized to 300px in Outlook -->
<img src="https://www.emailonacid.com/images/photo.jpg" width="300" style="width:300px;" />

<-- This image will NOT be resized in Outlook -->
<img src="https://www.emailonacid.com/images/photo.jpg" style="width:300px;" />

For the button, it's more complexe. I remove the mso-hide in the .button section bug outlook don't show it correctly. So, after many research and tests, we should add specific tag for outloock like this gist :

I think you should update your templates to work correctly in MS outlook desktop app

Ooh, that doesn't look pretty.

We could use a service like Litmus to fix this (previewing the themes in the most popular e-mail clients without having to install them). They have a 3-day free trial which could suffice.

If you have the time, would you like to submit a PR to add compatibility for Outlook?
