I have a newsletter which is being sent out by dada mail, however it
is not recognizing the custom font sizes defined either in the CSS
file, with inline CSS or plain ole HTML. Clearly the stylesheet is
being read (actually it looks like dada parses it into the message)
as if I change background colors or something general it shows.
.custom_caption { background: #aaa; background: #000; /* this works
*/ font-size: .8em; font-size: 80%; font-size: 10px; }
The font sizes fail either in a stylesheet or inline CSS. Over...

I suggest you take a look at campaignmonitor.com to see what is and is
not supported for html emails and css styles. it is a very helpful and
informative site.
In my experience doing html emails dealing with font size is sometimes a
bit of a pain.
1. You need to decide what is acceptable to lose in terms of css
styling. Google will strip font styles for example.
2. I use only inline styles as I know that they will most likely not be
removed from the code. There seems to be some discussion as to whether
to use a <style></style> tag at the top of the page. (must be in the
body, not the header, as headers will be stripped from the code by most
clients.)
this has had good results in most of my html emails (though I am not
familiar with dada and its coding).
<p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial San-Serif; font-size: 1em;">type
goes here...</p>
not sure if any of that helped, but I have found that pretty much inline
is the way to go.
