I'm quite sure that TB is not the only mailclient that has a different method for displaying HTML than Outlook. Here in Germany all tickets I get electronically are sent as PDF attachments. So the airline can be sure that the representation is as they intended. Making Outlook the ultimate benchmark for HTML representation is the same as it was some years ago with browsers and Internet Exploder (misspelling intended ;-) ). There were a lot of proprietary solutions inside IE and it was declared to be the standard. But the upcoming popularity of FireFox et al. forced M$ to adjust IE. Now you have to use the compatibility mode to view pages that were optimised for IE6 using IE8.
