nice job!

Great tutorials! But your tutorial says, "It should include only inline css", which turns out to be good advice. The <style> section you have in this breaks in (at least) Outlook.

@cwrichardson What are you seeing that is broken with that minimal <style>? We've been using similar code for years with GiantUser without incident

Actually, me too — part of the reason I said great tutorial. It's been useful to me for at least 5 years :)

However, recently, some people have started reporting that the first line inside of the <style> is coming through as plain text. e.g., they're seeing:
a{margin:0;padding:0;border:none;text-decoration:none;}
