Line height issues in Outlook.com

July 17, 2013

Since Hotmail has now been replaced by Outlook.com, there has been an issue with line spacing has increased considerably which may affect your campaign. On various examples, the increased line-spacing forced unwanted space to appear and skewed email campaigns. This notably affected emails that were specifically designed to have a set amount of text next to an image.

Take this as an example:

Unfortunately, Outlook.com’s default line-height has caused the paragraphs/text to be a bit more spaced out forcing space under the image. But don’t worry; this can be easily fixed by adding a line of code in the style tag at the top of the HTML.

<style type="text/css">
 
.ExternalClass * {line-height: 100%;}
 
</style>
