Hi Rob, Welcome!
As the Apache Software Foundation is using a basic mail manager all formatting is removed. This is a given, and doesn't worry me much.

Look in the browser source how the files (.xml screen widgets or .ftl Freemarker templates) are named. Then do a search/find in your preferred IDE and removed the referenced elements. This doesn't require a re-build/reboot, so you can use the cut/paste methodology to see the effect. > Regarding the first two points above, I have come across some > documentation that mentions .CSS files, but I have not found enough to take > a stab at this.With respect to the third point, I am guessing that I would > have to modify a configuration file of some sort... not sure which, though. > That said, is it possible to accomplish what I want to do in OFBiz? > Yes.
