Be careful with the tables, the background color, and the white space.

Even though many of the email clients support the padding and the margins, the results are always inconsistent. If the spacing is essential, then the developer can then nest tables inside their main tables instead.

As regarding the background color, it is essential to have a wrapping table all around every sides of the content. Setting the background color attribute on the content will ensure that the email clients do not do away with the background that is on the tag or whatever is set on the style sheet of the developer.
