You may remember an article I wrote awhile back that talked about the changes to HTML support in Outlook 2007. They stopped using the IE7 rendering engine in favor of using the Word HTML engine. Doesn’t make much sense does it?
Molly E. Holzschlag took it upon herself to investigate the issue further and get a direct answer from Microsoft on the reason for the change.
To that end I took the question to colleagues at Microsoft in order to see what I could find out. I have to admit that after having been so focused on working with IE7 and other prioritizations, it never occurred to me or anyone else at WaSP in the Microsoft / WaSP Task Force to even ask about rendering in Office products. What a kerfuffle, as Lou would tell Andy in Little Britain.
You can read her post, What Really Happened with HTML and CSS in Outlook 2007, on her website and get all the details. It still doesn’t make sense to me though on their reasons for the change.
?A man I greatly respect and loved is retiring as president from my alma mater, Mount Vernon Nazarene University. I don’t think I’ve ever met another individual that was in a level of leadership as high as he was, yet still remained as humble and accessible as the most invisible person in a organizational hierarchy. Dr. Fairbanks, you will be missed and your shoes will remain unfilled. I trust your replacement will do an excellent job of continuing to move the University forward, but your shoes will never be filled by another individual. You were unique and a blessing to everyone you met. Thank you!

During his tenure, much growth and change was witnessed by all on MVNU’s campus:

There have been a few things, however, that did not and will not change. Through Fairbanks’ years at MVNU, he and those in his charge have challenged students to:?
In the days ahead, Fairbanks and his wife, Anne, who has been equally dedicated in serving MVNU and its constituents, will spend a few months in Florida following the February 1 transition date for incoming president Daniel Martin. Fairbanks intends to finish writing a book he has been working on for several years. In addition, he will chair a Missional Review team assessing the Church of the Nazarene International Board of Education (IBOE) and the Education Commissioner.The Fairbanks will then travel to The Netherlands in late March where LeBron will participate in meetings of the International Course of Study Advisory Committee (ICOSAC) and IBOE. They also plan to return to European Nazarene College (EuNC) for the fall 2007 semester to teach in EuNC’s extension program throughout Europe.
MVNU held a Farewell Celebration for the Fairbanks in December, where they were honored with a variety of tributes, memories, and recognitions. They will be sorely missed at MVNU and within the community.
