Question .css and html outlook mail conversion problems

Hello all,

I have recently tried to put together an html newsletter with a bit'o .css embedded in the html but when I create the email in outlook it seems to strip all the areas containing .css.

here's the example...

<STYLE>A:hover {COLOR: #9966cc; TEXT-DECORATION: underline}</STYLE>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.b8 {
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 11px;
font-style: normal;
color: #3D5E7D;
}
.b8w {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
font-style: normal;
color: #fff;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
-->
</style>

which inevitably turns to this when proccessed by outlook

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>

<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1226" name=GENERATOR>
<STYLE></STYLE>
</HEAD>

Can anyone suggest a program to convert the message and leave the comments intact? I also have included other commented sections which are stripped as well.

Re: .css and html outlook mail conversion problems

Did you ever get an answer to this question? I can't get Outlook Express or Entourage (Mac) to respond to CSS, even when it's in the headers of a correctly formatted email my mail server app is sending. :-(

I got it working but the solution was somewhat convoluted. I signed up for a web-based mail service and sent myself a template for use later on.

I cheated
