The only problems I see with this are: 1. You're using classes for your column divs instead of IDs. Most CSS developers recommend IDs for pieces of the layout that will occur once per page. Helps you avoid specificity issues and makes it clearer that these are not recurring items but layout elements. 2. Your column names are not intuitive. Perhaps you are just dumbing them down for the same a simple email, which is fine, but just in case these are your real names, here's a warning -- give your IDs names that describe their content. Things like "maincontent," "features," "secondaryNav" are good names. One more thing -- always trim your posts before sending to the list. This means cutting out material to which you are not directly replying. It's also nice if you mingle your comments with the original message to make it ultra clear what you are referring to, instead of top-posting. But this isn't a requirement -- trimming is regardless.
