css - Can I put a <style>...</style> tag within the body of a HTML file to send in email?

Question

Since a lot of email clients ignore the HEAD tag, can I embed an inline stylesheet in the body?

Answer 1

The short answer is no. Gmail strips the tag and it's content.

Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail and Windows Live Mail does not strip style-tags in the body-element.

But take a look at "The Ultimate Guide to CSS" for HTML email over at Campaign Monitor.
