A very useful book that I used before I start a job is:

Modern HTML Email - Jason Rodriguez

There are very few books on writing HTML for email, so this is one of the only decent ones I found!

Whenever I start making an email, I use a starting point such as this below:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
body{-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;}
.ReadMsgBody{width:100%;}
.ExternalClass{width:100%;}
.ExternalClass, .ExternalClass p, .ExternalClass span, .ExternalClass font, .ExternalClass td, .ExternalClass div {line-height: 100%;}
</style>
</head>

<body style="padding:0px; margin:0PX;" bgcolor="">
<table width="100%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor=""  style="table-layout:fixed; margin:0 auto;">
<tr>
<td width="640" align="center" valign="top">

<!--Insert content here-->


</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

This includes some fixes, such as a 100% wrapping table on the outside which means that Yahoo! will not left align your email and a fix for the line-height issue in Outlook.com, where Outlook.com makes all line-heights 131%. The width included in here is 640, which gives the email a fixed width for desktop and is normally 600-700px.

Tables should be used at all times, and tables contain rows and columns (<tr> and <td>). Tables can be nested within eachother:

<table width="" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Each row within a table needs to have the same number of columns, otherwise columns within a row will need to be nested within a table. Tables can also be stacked, so within a <td>, you can have multiple tables that will stack vertically without the need of rows. The content, such as text or images goes within a <td>.

All CSS styling should be inline:

<td align="right" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px; line-height:14px; color:#fffffe; text-align:right; text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal;">Hello</td>
