    Email Rendering problem

    I have designed a form (InfoPath 2007) that uses sections that hide/show depending on selected values in drop-down lists.  It also has a repeating table.  

    The form looks fine when rendered inside of Sharepoint in Internet Explorer, but when the user submits the form to his manager (via email), it is rendered incorrectly in Outlook 2007. 

    The most common problem seems to be the width of the repeating table and it's columns.

     

    Example:
     

    Name

    Type of Claim

    Date Worked

    Total Hours

    Start and End Time

    Banked / Paid

    Mileage

    NOTES
    Reason, Workload, Incident #, etc

    MGR
    Initials

     SHAPE  \* MERGEFORMAT

    Cowie, Kolten

    Text Box: Cowie, Kolten

     SHAPE  \* MERGEFORMAT

    Overtime

    Text Box: Overtime

    to

    03

    Text Box: 03
    : SHAPE  \* MERGEFORMAT

    00

    Text Box: 00

    Paid

    Text Box: Paid

    3

    Text Box: 3

    Oh, and of course it rendered "ok" here... What is with Outlook and rendering tables?  Is that the issue?  Has anyone else experienced this?

    So I have it nailed down to the DATE control and sending emails from SharePoint.

    Sending the form from within InfoPath - email renders correctly.

    Sending the form from SharePoint - email does NOT render correctly.

    Removing the date control and sending the form from SharePoint - email renders correctly.

    What is wrong with the date control, sharepoint, and emailing the form???

     Still no solution to this problem, eh?  This must be a bug or something because switching to plain text boxes works fine.  Unfortunately, that's just not acceptable to a large organization such as ours.

    Does _anyone_ know anything about this bug?
