I had/have a signature that is mostly text with some links, where I also like to center a few lines of the text. It works solidly in Outlook, I have it setup in Hubspot in the signature. In the signature editor, it shows up perfectly in the preview.
When I draft a message in Hubspot, the preview also shows up perfectly with the aligned text in center. However, after sending the message, both the send mail and received mail have all text aligned to left, plus it appears that the size of the text is also increased quite a lot.
What am I missing? Does the \ tag no longer suffice? Is there a setting that overrides fonts/styles of my emails in Hubspot that I miss?

Hi @RoelofR,
Did you create your signature using HubSpot’s email signature generator?
\ tag has long been depreciated. If you’re using table format, you can add _ **text-align: center** _ to your column.

Hey @GiantFocal - No I did not use that yet, it appears I can not recreate my current setup in there. It is worth considering adopting a new signature that is easier to maintain consistent and less error-prone.
Thanks for pointing this out!
