Depends on how your stylesheet are written. Some like to make a central 
style sheet like.

page.includeCSS.styles = fileadmin/templates/styles.css

The style.css file the contains links to other stylesheets like:

@import url('tt_news.css');
@import url('indexed_search.css');
@import url('flexcontent.css');
@import url('content.css');

This setup WONT work. Instead you should include them one by one.

page.includeCSS {
    ttnews = fileadmin/templates/tt_news.css
    indexedsearch = fileadmin/templates/indexed_search.css
    flexcontent = fileadmin/templates/flexcontent.css
    content = fileadmin/templates/content.css
}


Even better, identify what styles you plan to use in your newsletter, 
and write a stylesheet containing only the styles needed. Remember that 
unnessesary styles take up bytes on your newsletter.

Even better yet, write the styles inline in your newsletter. This way 
you can also trick hotmail, gmail and the like to display the styles.

Hope it helps.
