Outlook Email Broken Layout Fix: Resolve Gmail 102KB Layout Clipping for Deliverability & Spam Audits
Spam filters analyze email HTML code quality alongside body copy. Unclosed tags, excessive styling block nesting, and broken link parameters are flagged as spam risks. Below is the targeted integration guide to fix Gmail 102KB Layout Clipping inside Outlook Office 365 (Web) templates when using MJML Framework.
Technical Breakdown
Outlook Office 365 (Web) uses the Office Rendering Service which lacks support for standard rendering rules. This causes Gmail 102KB Layout Clipping elements to break or collapse when rendering templates.
MJML Framework Behaviors
The MJML transpilation compiler parses dynamic columns and wraps them in custom HTML conditional tags. If you paste direct tables or VML code blocks inside an MJML layout without proper escaping, the MJML compiler will try to clean the code, resulting in stripped Outlook namespaces and broken layouts. Run your finished layouts through the Spam Word Auditor to catch trigger phrases and verify structural delivery alignments before launching.
Remediation Code Block
To resolve this, you must run your layouts through a specialized tree-shaking parser. Unused CSS selectors must be shaken off, styling rules inlined, comments removed, classes shortened, and layouts compressed to fit well under 100KB. In your MJML Framework campaign manager, make sure you configure your links to run via {{unsubscribe_link}}.

How to Deploy inside MJML Framework
Copy the fixed VML or table wrapper code block from the remediation box above.
Wrap the entire RenderOps corrected table block inside an '<mj-raw>' tag block. This tells the MJML compiler to bypass parsing on this segment, exporting the exact conditional statements into the final HTML output.
