I have solved this problem with something who looks very silly, but it works...
I put each line of the CSS in a comment area :
<!-- body {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #666666;}
-->
<= ;!-- a:link {=C2=A0 color: #0A479C; text-decoration: none}
-->
<!-- a:hover {=C2=A0 color: #0A479C; text-decoration: underline}
-->
<!-- a:visited {=C2=A0 color: #0A479C; text-decoration: none} -->
I'm not able to say WHY this works, but from all the test I did this is the only way I found that make CSS applied nicely, execpt with Gmail that needs <Font> instead of <span> ...

If this can help!

Hi folks,

=C2=A0

Need some help on this. I have used WebDNA Sendmail and Emailer to send multipart emails with HTML as well as plain text content. For the HTML part, it is the plain vanilla HTML codes without any use of CSS that is used in the email. No issues there and works for eons.

=C2=A0

Recently, had a client that uses MaxBulk Mailer, a really nifty and good mass email software. It too does multipart emails. The difference is =E2=80=A6.it can handle CSS formatted HTML content in the email. Did a test on both software =E2=80=A6Emailer and MaxBulk using the same HTML content where the only difference is how the fonts are defined =E2=80=A6.<SPAN> versus <FONT>.

=C2=A0

What was discovered is that Outlook, upon receiving the email =E2=80=A6properl= y displays CSS HTML emails from MaxBulk but not from Emailer. Does anyone know what is up with this? Is there a way or something I need to add to the Emailer mail format or Sendmail context to make it send CSS HTML mails that can display correctly in Outlook.

=C2=A0

Thanks for the assist =E2=80=A6..regards Terry Nair
