The background color (shown in red) is currently only applying to the text within this link, rather than the entire link.
Additionally, there is padding present on the link.
This specific issue pertains to Outlook 2010.
If anyone has insight on how to ensure the background color fills the entirety of the link, please share!
Attached below is an image for reference:
<a href="#" class="btn" style="font-size: 13px; border: 1px solid #c5c4c4; color: #3c3c3c; padding: 7px 25px; display: inline-block; border-radius: 5px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; background-color: red; background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%, #e5e5e5 100%); background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#ffffff), color-stop(100%,#e5e5e5)); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%,#e5e5e5 100%); background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%,#e5e5e5 100%); background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%,#e5e5e5 100%); background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #ffffff 0%,#e5e5e5 100%);">
