Hi

And thanks, it helped to put the css inside of the <style> tag. I have a 
problem with images used in the style tag. They are not included.

css example:

.header {
background-image: url('gfx/headerbg.gif');
}

When the mail arives the it looks like


.header {
background-image: url('fileadmin/templates/gfx/headerbg.gif');
}


Is there a way to tell the direct mail module to prefix the image path 
with the full url?
