Byte-size

In Magento 1.4.x the standard templates for order emails specify totals in a table using the tfoot tag. Unfortunately the HTML renderer in Outlook (at least in 2007) does not put the contents of tfoot at the bottom of the table – and hence your emails will look as if the totals are before the order items.

This can easily be fixed by reordering the tfoot and tbody elements in default/template/email/order/items.phtml.

Note however that this breaks the HTML4 specification that states that the tfoot element must appear before tbody.
