    Hi marioi ,

     

    Yes, use only bgcolor and avoid gradient style. 

    Generally, Outlook on Windows does not support many styles.

    If you can, avoid styles and you are safe 🙂

    This is our     Table bgcolor snippet we use when helping clients with email signatures templates:

Jesper_Frier  Thanks. I would have used a simple bgcolor, but unfortunately the color gradient is part of the branding.

I'll have to rethink the design. Thanks for your responses. Much appreciated.

 

PS: Tell Mr Gates to stop being so a**l with outlook LOL.

Here's a starter example https://backgrounds.cm/
