I’m trying to generate and send a HTML mail using MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate.
However after running the app and opening up the mail view I saw this :
There is an excess of “gray” space both to the left and right of the actual body of my E-Mail. What is causing this? Is it a problem in my HTML or in the obj-c code?
edit: as requested here is the html as I think its a safe bet that my problem lies here – Especially since I’ve never written a single line of it and hacked this together from an online service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Seems that this single line was causing all my issues;
Removing it resolved my problem.
