\n Set the email width. Defined in two places:
\n 1. max-width for all clients except Desktop Windows Outlook, allowing the email to squish on narrow but never go wider than 680px.
\n 2. MSO tags for Desktop Windows Outlook enforce a 680px width.
\n Note: The Fluid and Responsive templates have a different width (600px). The hybrid grid is more "fragile", and I've found that 680px is a good width. Change with caution.
