Tables are not 'tag soup'.
1 comments

10 tables to display 1 header, 1 footer, 2 lines of text and 1 image in an email is 'tag soup'.
“Tag soup” doesn’t mean “bad markup”. It specifically refers to when you write HTML as a series of commands and the result is a bunch of tags that aren’t nested properly and don’t result in a tree structure. Things like <b><i>…</b></i>.
