Hello...
I'm not finding any resolutions to a problem that many seem to be running into. Google searches are turning up more questions than answers. I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I found a really annoying problem when using the MHTML (web archive) report rendering option in SSRS 2008 R2. When a report is emailed out as a web archive and viewed using gmail webmail, all of the special formatting, tables and all, are stripped out of the email body. When the same report is viewed using Outlook or Mac Mail, the formatting works and the report looks great.
Last week I spent hours creating a new report and was asking for feedback from my boss (gmail webmail user) about how the report looked. I couldn't understand why he wasn't very excited about the report until I realized that he'd been using webmail to view the report and all of the formatting was completely stripped out. I had been using Outlook during development...so I had no idea how bad it looked in webmail.
The question now is...how can I deliver this report embedded in the body of an email with the formatting intact using SSRS...? He doesn't want the report delivered as an attachment.
Thanks

when you read the same report in gmail, if you "View Source" for the rendered report, can you confirm that it has now been manipulated/changed from what you actually created or not?
compare the source of the html between the two (or more) email clients...check it with thunderbird as well, for example.,
I'd think that gmail might be re-formatting as a "helpful" feature.
