+== Customizing e-mail content for MS Outlook ==
+
+Out-of-the-box, MS Outlook normally presents plain text e-mails with a variable-width font; the ticket properties table will most certainly look like a mess in MS Outlook. This can be fixed with some customization of the [#Customizingthee-mailcontent e-mail template].
+
+Replace the following second row in the template:
+{{{
+$ticket_props
+}}}
+
+with this instead:
+{{{
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+{% with
+   pv = [(a[0].strip(), a[1].strip()) for a in [b.split(':') for b in
+         [c.strip() for c in 
+          ticket_props.replace('|', '\n').splitlines()[1:-1]] if ':' in b]];
+   sel = ['Reporter', 'Owner', 'Type', 'Status', 'Priority', 'Milestone', 
+          'Component', 'Severity', 'Resolution', 'Keywords'] %}\
+${'\n'.join('%s\t%s' % (format(p[0]+':', ' <12'), p[1]) for p in pv if p[0] in sel)}
+{% end %}\
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+}}}
+
+The table of ticket properties is replaced with a list of a selection of the properties. A tab character separates the name and value in such a way that most people should find this more pleasing than the default table, when using MS Outlook.
+{{{#!div style="margin: 1em 1.75em; border:1px dotted"
+{{{#!html
+#42: testing<br />
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
+<table cellpadding=0>
+<tr><td>Reporter:</td><td>jonas@example.com</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Owner:</td><td>anonymous</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Type:</td><td>defect</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Status:</td><td>assigned</td></tr>

+<tr><td>Component:</td><td>report system</td></tr>

+
+However, it's not as perfect as an HTML formatted e-mail would be, but presented ticket properties are at least readable...
