An HTML code analyzer, like firebug, for outlook

Designing email templates for outlook can be a real pain. Other email providers are normally online and we can check the rendered page to see what changes the email provider has done to our emails (Like GMail, replacing heights with min-heights).

Does anyone know any source code analyzer (something like Firebug or Chrome developer tools) for MS Outlook? or someway to know what changes outlook has made to your code and styles.

Appreciate any help.

Unfortunately there isn't really anything like that out there. What I typically do is use a service such as

  • http://www.campaignmonitor.com/
  • http://litmus.com/

These allow you to take screen shots of how your email appears on different browsers/email clients/phones and then it is pretty much trial and error from there to get it working perfectly.
