All CSS needs to be inline for HTML emails. For ease of editing, we've kept the CSS separate. When you're ready to send your email, you'll want to use a CSS inliner tool, such as MailChimp's or Premailer, among others. Many email campaign tools such as Campaign Monitor will do this for you automatically.
You can't just paste the HTML code into an email. You'll need to use an email campaign tool such as Campaign Monitor or MailChimp. These tools will format the email with the HTML code you provide, and they'll also move the CSS inline automatically, ensuring that it will render in the majority of email clients.
Here's a breakdown of the email clients that we've optimized the templates for.
