Features/Updates

New Top Products in Segment strategy
Summary: This strategy uses the same underlying model as TopProducts. Starting with the best segment, it checks if the segment can provide recs else it moves to the next best segment. It keeps on moving to the next segment only if the previous segment could not provide any recs. As soon as any segment provides recs it skips the remaining segments.

Bug Fixes

Issue: Responsive Email Images render with a white border. 
Fix: In order to generate the image, the image is inserted into a basic HTML template and that HTML is rendered and returned. By default, the "body" element in html has a 8 pixel padding; this fix forces that padding to 0.
