Hi, I've been working on this for hours to no end. I'm sending HTML newsletters via Simplenews with Mimemail installed. I copied over the Simplenews template, here's a snippet:

<head>

<style type="text/css">

body {margin:20px; padding:20px; background-color: #FFFFFF;}

a {
	text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;
}


a:link {text-decoration: none;
	color: #5fb747;
}


a:visited {text-decoration: none;
	color: #b3eba4;
}

a:hover {text-decoration: none;
	color: #333333;
}

a:active {text-decoration: none;
	color: #333333;
}

</head>

</style>


<body>

<h2><?php print $title; ?></h2>
<?php print $body; ?>

</body>

I know the CSS is sloppy, but I don't think that's the problem because messages delivered to my Outlook look great. HTML newsletters however are being delivered as plain text to my hotmail, but I could care less at this point because it's' also showing style information like this:

From: sender
Sent: Sat 1/02/10 4:34 PM
To: me

body {margin:20px; padding:20px; background-color: #FFFFFF;} a {
text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; } a:link {text-decoration: none;
color: #5fb747; } a:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #b3eba4; } a:hover
{text-decoration: none; color: #333333; } a:active {text-decoration: none;
color: #333333; }
-------- TITLE OF NEWSLETTER ---------------------------------------------

[Body of Newsletter]

Any advice? I'd really appreciate it at this point!

Tried everything - no luck at all

what i ended up doing was adding the CSS styles inline in the body tag and disabling automatic links in the 'full html' input format. I don't have clickable links in the newsletter but at least they aren't showing up in strange colours and multiple times. It's not a solution but it's the best I can do for now.
