HTML email format is displayed incorrectly in the "View activity" screen

[aeszq]

Hi,

I find that the "view activity" screen doesn't keep the html email's format very well for an email activity. I think the main reason is because the"view activity" screen inserts a bunch of <br> and &nbsp; into the original HTML, and CIVICRM's CSS file also affects the email content. In my case, the html email contains quite a few tables.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

George

Am seeing the same thing with 4.4.4. Lots of extra break elements getting inserted for HTML email. Looks like if you minify the HTML in the email, that problem goes away, but there are also a few places in civicrm.css that are causing the inline CSS from the email to display differently than intended (ex. background colors, padding, borders, etc on td and th elements in #crm-container elements).

Would be great if that file could be updated to exclude some of these styles so that the inline styles get rendered as expected.
