Css Embedded in E-mails

[Wofen]

I need to know if CSS will wok in E-mails.

I have been trying to help my brother(who is no HTML coder) to use dreamweaver to make e-mails for his clients. He wanted to do a few things and I gave him a CSS fix to the problem. Now, it woked fine when he looked at it, but some of it did not work when he viewed it in Outlook.

Now, the commands that I gave him where basic text and border commands. A outer border color around a table, did not work. Removeing the lines under links worked, but changing there color did not. Does anyone know if there is anyway to make CSS work in E-mails over all systems(Outlook, K-mail, the Apple mail program).

Thanks for the help.

The support for CSS in email programs is the same or less than the support in the corresponding browser. I would expect most CSS2 to display correctly in Thunderbird and OperaMail but not in Outlook or Outlook Express since CSS support in IE is way behind the others to start with.
