Template Features

1. table-based, modular HTML email optimized for Gmail App and iOS Apple Mail App
2. no media queries; container width of 600px
3. use of rems and ems so that each module can be resized independently
4. thoroughly-documented, tested, and validated code
5. CSS fix for superscript HTML entities (®) -- line-height distortion is anticipated and eliminated
6. Includes an HTML snippet that fixes Gmail's attempt to automatically resize fonts. A discussion of this can be found here. The code is included just before the closing body tag.
7. added display:table-cell; to all images nested within links, in order to make sure that the link doesn't extend beyond the image. This has the effect of making the layout more balanced since links extending beyond the image borders was similar to adding padding to one side of the image.
