    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("C DO.Message")
    objMail.From = "x@f.com'
    objMail.To = "b@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 & ".notapplie d {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='notappli ed'>not applied</h1>"
    txt = txt & "</body>"
    txt = txt & "</html>"

    objMail.HTMLBod y = txt
    objMail.Send()
    set objMail = Nothing

    Thanks and happy coding
    J

      Ignored by what? Outlook Express? Outlook? Thunderbird? A Web based email
      agent like Gmail or hotmail?

          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.
