I'm not sure having an email be 900px wide (the table has 3 300px wide cells) is a good idea. Wouldn't that get a horizontal scrollbar on the iPad no matter the orientation? When it's horizontal there's a sidebar; when it's vertical it's only 768px wide.

I've taken a look at it and placed it into the PostageApp ( http://postageapp.com ) template system and it immediately spat out four issues: - width CSS property is not supported by Outlook 07, Notes 6 and 7 - height CSS property is not supported by Outlook 07, Notes 6 and 7, Blackberry - line-height CSS property is not supported by Notes 6 and 7, Palm Treo (Palm Garnet OS), Blackberry - display CSS property is not s…
Alright, took a second look, I guess the issues with those browsers aren't so mission critical, but probably still best not to use a 900px width.
Please don't send HTML email, there is almost never a scenario when it is necessary. All it does is create larger emails, have redundant information (most HTML emails also send a plain text counterpart), make reading email more difficult (especially if you are using a terminal mail client or are visually impaired), and allow for obnoxious email styling. HTML Email, just say NO.
this is useless. Just for a start it's way too wide. e.g. Hotmail cuts off at 610px or so.
There are however many interesting uses for wider than normal emails. In any case, I updated the example table to be 600px wide.

Hey SamColes - The table itself was just an example to show setting up a table properly (not necessarily a view on how wide it should be). The whole width question is a more of a design call than anything else. I am trying to keep it as design-free as possible. There are however many interesting uses for wider than normal emails.

Is a scenario where you actually want your emails to convert to sales not necessary?
It might be helpful to have a clearer link to the GitHub project on the site so people know that they can fork it easily. https://github.com/seanpowell/Email-Boilerplate/
