Not sure how I can find the actual CSS code to replace the link, I will see if I can find it when I get home tomorrow.

I will be sending this newsletter using outlook. I have been pasting the HTML code where you type a message, is this right?. I have tried with hotmail and gmail also. No joy.

Oh, This Doctype should have gone above the code I posted, not sure if it makes much difference:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
The newsletter displays fine on my local web broser, so I think the code is ok.

Thanks for the reply zkiller.
the doctype and meta tags are pointless in an email. all it can display is either plain text, html or mixture of both.

if i remember right, in outlook you can create html based templates for emails that you can later use to send your emails. pasting the code into the window, as it is a what you see is what you get type of deal, won't work. i don't use outlook, so i am not sure on the details, but i'll see if i can't find a tutorial for ya.

front page might have a built in feature for building such templates.
