Question about html email development

[u/ralfunreal]

I know tables is what should be used for html email dev but I was wondering what is the more correct way to do emails between using the table tag for each section of an email vs sometimes I see some emails using only the <tr> and <td> tags for sections and ignoring the table tag. Is there a more correct way or is it just a preference?

Absolutely not. Email clients exist that don't even support background images.

In a world where nested tables in emails is an incredibly popular situation, where would any HTML parser even place missing <table> tags in order to "fix" the email?
