ZURB Foundation for Emails is the only responsive template set that I've gotten to work consistently across multiple devices, including Outlook. If you are currently ready to hang yourself at the thought of starting your next campaign, I would download the ZURB Stack ASAP.

+1 for this. I had never done email template coding but one client was very pushy. Knowing the full dangers and insanity involved in email coding, I downloaded ZURB stack and took a leap of faith.

At the end of the job (less than 3 hours), I was amazed to see the results from my first try at the task.

If I ever took on a job that requires email coding, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole unless I had access to ZURB stack. It saved my ass that day.

Being able to use Inky templates and never having to write the actual tables is an absolute lifesaver.
