Bob, Email support for CSS is an odd creature, indeed! I spend half of my day trying to figure out what will work and what won't sometimes!
Anyway, first off you're going to want to avoid using percentages and ems for fonts - I know Hotmail doesn't support it and I'd bet that a lot of others don't either. Stick with your basic px extension and you should be fine. Also, it's probably a good idea to go with inline styles for most of your CSS, since the majority of email programs have different ways of handling the CSS stylesheet tag - some allow it, others remove it completely! In fact, you can probably get a good of how email programs will perform if you remove everything from <doctype> through <body>. If you are going to link a stylesheet, do it at the beginning of the content, not in the header. A good article on this is here: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/archives/2007/04/a_guide_to_css_support_in_emai_2.html. It's got a list of what every email client supports, and most of what I said above I got from there, too.
