You would need to use absolute paths for all your images. I would recommend using inline CSS if you have to. As far as the coding though, if you use deprecated HTML tags like <font>usually this will function better than using the inline tagCode:<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>FlashKit</b></font>
can cause problems in come email clientsCode:<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">FlashKit</p>
its old school city!!
most inline styles are ignored by some email clients such as hotmail so it is best to go back to oldschool HTML.
Tables (dirty they are) are the best way to get consistency through your email clients. give everything (images and tables cells where necessary) a width and a height.
hotmail doesn't look at padding so table cells are the best way to get your padding sorted out. As a rule put your fon styles initially on the <td> element then any additions on the alter areas such as <a href> tags and spans.
when using <P> tags always specify the top and bottom margin just to be on the safe side as we know that ie and firefox display these differently anywayTest test test, sign up for as many email accounts of leading email clients as you can and test!!Code:<p style="margin:10px 0 10px 0;">your text</p>
