HTML email design course by Fabio Carneiro is so complicated, The structure he make is tables nested inside another tables in table in table in table in table ...etc Thats really a headache! Why can't we just make it regular HTML structure instead of nested tables structure, why making it so complicated ?

Email-based advertising is basically a hot mess. You can check out the responsive email design framework ink it's designed to smooth some of those (rather) rough edges.

Courses Plus Student 723 PointsHTML email designing is a pain in the neck. But try to send beautiful designed HTML email based on DIVs, you'll immediately become friends with nested tables, when you see what happens with your beautiful design :D
I also finished the course by Fabio Carneiro, it's quite complicated, but really well explained, thanks!
