creating an email is not the same as creaating an HTML page, an email message cannot use styles from a style block:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
background-image: url(images/bg_body.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-color: #4290BD;
}
.news {
font-family: Tahoma;
color: #C7DEEB;
font-size: 10px;
}
.text {
font-family: Tahoma;
font-size: 11px;
color: #606060;
}
.red {
color: #CC0000;
}
.tahoma_menu {
font-family: Tahoma;
font-weight: normal;
color: #F4A500;
}
.tahoma_menu_1 {
font-family: Tahoma;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.style3 {
font-family: Tahoma;
font-size: 10px;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.style5 {font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: bold; color: #F4A500; }
-->
</style>
the styles must be specified inline using a style attribute.
also, links to images cannot be relative:
<img src="images/t2_bottom.jpg" width="535" height="18">
the email client needs to be given the full URL for the images:
<img src="http://mydomain.com/images/t2_bottom.jpg" width="535" height="18">
