text-shadow in Outlook Classic

UnsupportedMicrosoft Word · desktop

Fix & Workaround

text-shadow is stripped by Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo. Use font-weight for emphasis.

Before

.glow {
  text-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
}

After

.glow {
  /* text-shadow is not supported in Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo.
     Use font-weight or letter-spacing for emphasis instead. */
  font-weight: bold;
  letter-spacing: 0.5px;
}

Use font-weight or border-bottom as alternatives to text-shadow
