The email is rendering correctly in most browsers, except for an extra space between #container and the table at the bottom specifically in Outlook 2007. I've attempted to add

mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt; font-size: 0em;

to that specific table but unfortunately it did not resolve the issue. I also experimented with adding vertical-align properties to containing tr and td elements without success. :( Seeking assistance!

If you're having trouble with Outlook adding extra spaces in HTML emails, check out this helpful resource: Outlook adding space in HTML email

Consider removing the divs and styling your content in td elements instead. Some email clients may have issues with html tags within tables.
