WTF.

Not only does this seem horrible for the user experience (goodbye proper CSS, etc), but they actually named security as one of the reasons for this choice. Security? So let me get this straight — you go around the country touting the security of IE7, but you’re not going to use it render web content in your mail client because you don’t trust it?

I’m emotional right now.
