I did follow a random article that I found with a Google search that gave a list of which styles worked and which didn't, I assumed that the "didn't" list would not work inline either which may not be the case after reading a few posts on the list.
If anyone can dig up a best methods article for producing HTML emails then that would be fantastic.

I know gmail is a pain with css, but have you tested inline css for this border problem?

You can see the HTML here: http://tui/expresstemplate/template_japanese/ The yellow section partway down the page is what I'm trying to fix, if you view it in both Firefox and IE you'll see the difference between them and what I'm trying to achieve.
