I don't have a helpful answer, but I would recommend that HTML emails be as simple and dark ages as you can make them for the widest support. Some email readers (Thunderbird, for example) use actual browsers to render the HTML and it looks wonderful. However, many more have half-assed, or non-existent CSS support. Outlook, for example, renders HTML using MS Word (really). Gmail strips out lots of CSS - including, I think, anything in <style> tags. ---Tim ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
