Outlook is designed to support only a sub-set of HTML 4, so some HTML tags are simply ignored. These tags are not removed from your code, they will display just fine on other email clients that. The new process is much faster than right clicking a message to block a sender. But it could be even better with Microsoft's help. At this time, the Block Sender feature only works with individual messages. It would be nice if Outlook let us select multiple emails and then click Block Sender.
