Microsoft Exchange servers strip all inline CSS styles in HTML emails

[foxtrotgolf]

I need help. I've been search for the last 3 days without luck, so I'm
posting.

I'm helping out the team that sends out HTML emails to our subscribers,
and we're running into an issue where Microsoft Exchange servers strip
all CSS inline styles.

Specifically, this tag:

<p style="padding:0px 5px 0px 18px;font-family:Lucida
Grande,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,san-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:16px;color:#666;">

Gets rewritten as:

<p style="">

and

<td colspan="2" style="padding:20px 0 20px 0">

gets rewritten as:

<td colspan="2" style="">

Is this just a MS Exchange issue - where CSS could potentially trigger
a virus, so it gets stripped out automatically? Is there a way around
it?


Thanks in advance!
