Screen resolutions have been 1024x768 for some time now. The current standard is actually 1280x1024. The standard email templates are not optimum for 1024 screen widths. Changing the width requires using the Advanced Editor Mode which disables the Guided Editor option. It is also not a very good html editor so it is difficult to make layout changes with the Advanced Editor.
Please change the standard template width to 900px instead of the current 650px. A second option would be to offer wide and narrow templates.
This seems like a no brainer. It is very difficult to edit templates with the Advanced Editor. Can't we get this simple change added to the existing templates? Only three characters have to change. Please!
