    Email Newsletter Driving Me Crazy!

    I cannot seem to figure out why Outlook is breaking my newsletter.

    I designed with tables and under 600px width, with an outer table for my background color.

    here is the link to the newsletter, in the format that I am trying to send
    http://www.mortgageproblog.com/emailnewsletter.html

    It looks great in gmail, thunderbird and hotmail, but when I open it with outlook the tables break and nothing aligns correctly ( screenshot)

    Here is my code - can anyone help fix this?

    HTML Code:
    <table width="100%" border="0" bordercolor="#666666" cellpadding="1%" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#555555" >
    <tr>
    <td>
    
    <table width="590px" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

    does anyone know how to fix this? I redesigned to use images that had the white space i needed embedded in them, and its still doing it. very frustrating. Im thinking it has something to do with the Align property not being used properly by outlook?
