Hallo Pieter,

there are several mail programs on different platforms that CAN'T handle 
css correctly. I would recommend to look for an other solution if you're 
interested in in cross platform, cross mail program newslettering. 
Otherwise you should add a quote "best read in ..." :-(

Regs. Peter.
