CDOSYS and CSS being ignored
Hello,
I've been testing HTML messages both with CreateMHTMLBody and
HTMLBody, the problem is that the message delivered does not display
css styles correctly. If I use "style" inside html tags within the
"body" the style is applyed. But if I put the styles within the "head"
tags and then reference to them with "class" the styles get completely
ignored.
The complete html code obviusly displays well on browsers.
Here are few lines of code
Set objMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMail.From = "x [at] f.com'
objMail.To = "b [at] g.com"
objMail.Subject = "sbj"
txt = txt & "<html>"
txt = txt & "<head>"
txt = txt & "<META http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1'>"
txt = txt & "<style type='text/css'>"
txt = txt & "<!--"
txt = txt & ".notapplied {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #074B89; font-size: 56px; font-weight: bold; }"
txt = txt & "-->"
txt = txt & "</style>"
txt = txt & "</head>"
txt = txt & "<body>"
txt = txt & "<br><h1 style='font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #074B89; font-size: 56px; font-weight: bold;'>applied</h1>"
txt = txt & "<br><h1 class='notapplied'>not applied</h1>"
txt = txt & "</body>"
txt = txt & "</html>"
objMail.HTMLBody = txt
objMail.Send()
set objMail = Nothing
Thanks and happy coding

Ignored by Gmail web interface, OE displays both solutions correctly.
Anyway I do receive html mails with css in the head, as a matter of
fact the MSDN newsletter has css in the head and looks perfect via
web.
What can it be?
Thanks

I don't know anything about GMail you would have to ask some where more
appropriate for GMail questions.

Examine the names used for class definitions in the working MSDN newsletter,
then examine yours.
It's quite possible that you've used one or more names which overlap those
used by Google.
