Here's the one I use, works perfectly:

<span class="preheader" style="color: #f3f3f3; display: none !important; font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; max-height: 0px; max-width: 0px; mso-hide: all !important; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; visibility: hidden;">Preheader text</span>

This works for me, prepend this to body before sending out email:

<!-- Visually Hidden Preheader Text : BEGIN -->
        <div style="display:none;font-size:1px;line-height:1px;max-height:0px;max-width:0px;opacity:0;overflow:hidden;mso-hide:all;font-family: sans-serif;">
            Some preview Text
        </div>
