March 2026 HTML Updates

Beefree App is now RGE Studio!
The email design suite you already know and love just leveled up. We’re working hard to update our help center, but you still may see some references to the old product name.

The Yahoo Mail mobile app has a non-standard way of handling the padding property in tables. This behavior has caused some rendering issues in RGE Studio messages.

More specifically, this affected two elements in particular: columns and buttons. The following example shows the issue:

To address this, we've made adjustments to the HTML structure of our messages.

Specifically, we have:

• Added an extra <table> element to wrap column content
• Introduced an additional <span> around button labels

The final result is the expected rendering:

While these changes resolve the Yahoo-specific issue, this also impact the following:

• The added <span> inside button labels 
• These changes also fix some long-standing padding issues in Outlook
• The overall HTML size increases by an average of 5.9%

To better illustrate the change to our HTML, see the images below. On the left, you can see the old hierarchy; on the right, you can see the new version.

Note the additional “.col-pad” element.

The other change has involved buttons: we now have two <span> tags wrapping the inner label, instead of one.
