I should have mentioned that the inline font styling we do is generally set on the <td> tag. With the possible need to repeat on elements inside the <td> such as <li>s, but it's been a bit since I was in an email so I'm not remembering it all. Above all, test, test, and then test. We use emailonacid.com, and I know there are other similar tools. -- Tom Livingston | Senior Front-End Developer | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@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/
