How to remove default padding/margin from around the email view of outlook for HTML emails

email, html, html-email, outlook

Solution

This works:

<body style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: #252525" bgcolor="#252525">

Just note whatever you set the body background color to will bleed into the email chain if it is forwarded. I'd suggest leaving the body white and setting the color on a html container table to prevent this.

Problem

I'm having some trouble finding away to remove the padding or margin default values from around my html email in most versions of outlook. I was wondering if there is something that I can put into my HTML email to prevent the padding/margin from showing. Thanks
