THe only way to make it working nice is to make HTML or XHTML CSS inline on all issues as then the Stylesheet is directly implemented inside the code and will not dissapear. I have made many many of these emails designed in the most difficult way by designers not knowing how to make a website but there is a way around to use XHTML emails and not the simple text emails version. I suggest strongly to use a news marketing tool that has no graphics inside it as i think it delivers much better and have no worries for appearance and the message will be short and fast loaded with no problems at all, even into handheld devices, a fast exploding market at least at the iPhone side... Good luck There are way and standards to follow for having HTML emails appear in Hotmal, Gmail and Yahoo Mails, which is the common problem as they CUT UOT the CSS that normally are included or imported.
