Convert CSS to Inline

shiftmail : 24/06/2009

Many email programs such as Outlook and Gmail strip out style tags and refuse to load external stylesheets.

i.e this will not work:
<p class="red">red text</p>

This means that for the best chance of you email being displayed correctly you need to use inline CSS. e.g <p style="color:red">red text</p>

This is not how designers are used to working and takes a lot longer to go through every tag and apply the correct style.

The solution? We've now added a new option to automatically convert CSS to inline. Once this option is enabled any time you save your email all CSS including external stylesheets will automatically be converted to inline CSS. So you get all the compatability benefits without any of the hassle of creating it!

To use this feature, go to preferences and enable the option "Convert CSS to inline"

If all goes well we will default this feature to On.
