[TYPO3-english] Creating html newsletter

[Stephen Bungert]

Hi,

so the inline styles that they select just wrap span tags around text with 
the css that you define in the RTE config? I'm not sure if embedding a style 
tag is so good. From what I have read, the best thing to do is write the css 
directly in a tags style attribute.

 I think webmail providers do different things with these tags. Also if the 
styles you want are added as spans inside p tags I think there will be some 
problems too... I have seen from my newsletters that different webmail 
providers have styles that cascade down and add margin/padding (depending on 
the webmail host) to p tags. This means that you may get some odd display 
affects appearing in webmails clients.
