Utilizing CSS property { white-space: nowrap } in Outlook for better formatting

Currently I am facing an issue with column widths in a report that I am generating dynamically and emailing directly out of SQL. The HTML for the report is being generated dynamically but there seems to be a problem with the column widths.

I have added the following CSS:

#tableMain 
TH { 
    text-align: center; 
    white-space: pre; 
    border: 1px solid black; 
    padding: 0; 
    border-spacing: 0; 
    border-collapse: collapse; 
    background-color: #f0f0f0; 
    font: 11pt bold arial sans-serif; 
}

While the HTML renders fine in IE, it is causing the cell contents to wrap onto two rows in Outlook.

IE View:

Outlook View:

Outlook is the email client used company-wide, so I only need it to work correctly in this specific client. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer №1

Although this question is dated, it remains pertinent today. A straightforward resolution would involve substituting all spaces with  . However, it is crucial to exercise caution regarding the length of lines.

Answer №3

I encountered a similar issue where it seems that Outlook has a maximum email width limit of around 2200px (at least for versions 2007-13). One possible solution I thought of was to open the dynamically generated HTML table in a headless browser like PhantomJS and use Javascript to split the table into smaller ones based on column widths. However, I suspect this approach may not be very efficient.
