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:

- 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.
