Those sites that say you can do that are wrong. Outlook.com eats your conditional comments, and anything inside of them. Gave me quite a headache for a while.
For things where you need to use conditional comments, I found the best thing to do was to have the regular conditional comment section, but also include another table row / column or what have you with a class like class="outlookcom"
(on the td
) and hide it with display:none
. Then, in your <style>
tag you can target that hidden row with ecxoutlookcom
(outlook prepends 'ecx' to all of your classed tags) and use display:block !important
to show itfor outlook.com
