Don't you have to put the <Box> inside an <Item>? The <Item> is like a <tr><td>, from the docs).

@acomito @brandly

The reason you are getting this is because the <Email /> component renders a <Box /> element. The box renders a table and then a nested tbody as it's children. By putting a <Box /> inside the <Email /> you are trying to put a table inside a tbody which is invalid html probably. The <Box /> doesn't need to be used here, it's only if you want another table somewhere else.

@MartinDawson what do you mean by somewhere else ? Do you mean outside <Email /> ?
Would that make sens?

Update:

I've just been using es6 strings. You can use variables in it. You can easily break them out into component-ish string fragments (you could even make them functions that consume variables.

You can use mailchimps free email builder, then export the html and plop that into a string and go from there.

I agree this is very confusing, the docs are a bit unclear. Basically Email mounts a table and content goes inside tbody so if you try to put a Box inside it'll generate invalid markup. Basically only use Box inside of Item if you want nested tables, otherwise just use Item
