Email disclaimer prepend (mail flow rule, HTML) - Formatting incorrect in Chrome only

Exchange version: Exchange online.

We have a transport rule configured to prepend a disclaimer message to all external mail. It works fine in IE, Edge, Firefox, and the Outlook client - but in Chrome, if the incoming message is less than 6 characters, it wraps around the right side of the disclaimer box (see image). It only does this in chrome. I think it's something to do with the HTML code used for the disclaimer but not sure what exactly it would be. Here's the HTML for the disclaimer:

​<table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width=`"100%`" style='width:100.0%;mso-cellspacing:0cm;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184; mso-table-lspace:2.25pt;mso-table-rspace:2.25pt;mso-table-anchor-vertical:paragraph;mso-table-anchor-horizontal:column;mso-table-left:left;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'>  <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes'><td style='background:#910A19;padding:5.25pt 1.5pt 5.25pt 1.5pt'></td><td width=`"100%`" style='width:100.0%;background:#FDF2F4;padding:5.25pt 3.75pt 5.25pt 11.25pt; word-wrap:break-word' cellpadding=`"7px 5px 7px 15px`" color=`"#212121`"><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-element:frame;mso-element-frame-hspace:2.25pt; mso-element-wrap:around;mso-element-anchor-vertical:paragraph;mso-element-anchor-horizontal: column;mso-height-rule:exactly'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family: `"Segoe UI`",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:`"Times New Roman`";color:#212121'><b>CAUTION: External Mail.</b>  Do not click on links or open attachments you do not trust.<br>
<b>ATTENTION: Courriel externe.</b>  Ne cliquez pas sur des liens et n'ouvrez pas de pièces jointes auxquels vous ne faites pas confiance. </span></p></div></td></tr></table>

Open in new window


The fallback option is set to "Wrap".

I am thinking that perhaps the junky HTML is not being rendered correctly in Chrome for whatever reason. I did not create this disclaimer, but it appears that it was created in word and saved out to HTML, and copy/pasted. Should I re-create this using standard HTML/CSS?

Attached is an example of what an incoming email looks like, when under 6 characters in Chrome.

I appreciate your help!
