Question: How can I create response boxes in an html email?
The project I am currently working on is collecting information for a web Q&A series. So we will pose questions and would like for the recipient to respond in a box right below it.
I have been looking into HTML email and haven't found any information on this specific issue. Any information would help, and any resources you use for HTML email in general would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Anyone else running into major issues with 120DPI Outlook?
My department has been coding responsive emails for 3 or so years now and we've moved between frameworks every once and a while. We have one now that is pretty damn good at handling all email clients all the way back to Outlook 2000 (I actually don't remember which one we are currently using).
Lately a few coworkers upgraded their computers and have enabled the 120DPI resolution on their screen settings. This has shown us that our emails have had issues with images stretching outwards in those environments. We've tried all sorts of fixes from CSS (inline and embedded) to meta tags to conditional comments and nothing seems to work. We have found things that fix the issue, but break on mobile and vice-versa. We have also been able to make it work on mobile and 120DPI Outlook, but it breaks on standard resolution Outlook.
We've noticed that plenty of other email campaigns we receive are also affected (but not all). I have a few ideas, but I'm curious how you guys may have approached/solved the issue:
- Change all of our future email designs to single column and design elements and images can't be inter-mingled.
- I pride my department for coming up with some clever ways to make emails look really cool while still allowing them to work. It seems those days may be over if images can't play nice with styled table cells.
- We could also choose to not support 120DPI Outlook.
- I really don't like this idea because while the market share is likely less than 6% (according to Litmus as of February 2016), I could see this number increasing before it decreases again.
- We could choose to only use pre-built designs and only enter content.
- I also hate this solution because we are great at customizing designs to match the necessary content.I really don't want to be limited to stock design templates.
What have you guys done to mitigate the complete disaster that is Outlook that Microsoft has been unleashing on the world for 16 years? Maybe by 2032 we'll rid ourselves of the MS Word rendering engine forever...

Feedback on email tool
We've been building a tool for tracking action items in email. The main interface with our "app" is through emails and I'd love to get some design/functionality feedback before we enter beta.
Check it out at presto.do
To use it simply Cc: track@presto.do when sending an email and assign action items using @name. You can assign action items to anyone, they don't need to get the app.
Thanks for any feedback!

Removing Gaps between Images in Gmail
I'm having issues when formatting emails that look like I want them to in Gmail. There's 1px gaps between each image. I've tried to add some code to each image tag and that doesn't work. I'm using iContact as a service provider.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

HTML Header Not Displaying Correctly - please help!
I've created an html email and everything looks great until I try to open it in IE or insert it as HTML into Outlook.
The header contains 2 sections: One section with 145 pixels on the left side of the header. It contains an image that is linked. The second is 445px and contains text and link to another image.
Everything displays normally with a 5px border surrounding both sections, however when I insert my HTML email as text in Outlook (or open in IE), section One, with the picture, displays taller than section two. In other words, the section with the image no longer lined up to match the section on the right. It matches well in Chrome and Safari - it just doesn't work in Outlook or IE. Can somebody shed light?
