Hi,

Very common problem for my users: The default content (or pasted) is without inline style, so the each paragraph is displayed according to the default style for p in the theme.

Works fine, looks all good in the preview, all good in gmail (using Arial), but then when received in outlook, it defaults to times new roman, making the mail look like crap.

I have tried both CKEditor and TinyMCE, result is basically always bad.

I thought about implementing a tool that inlines the style (because of course, something as advanced as <style> can't be handled by word, so MS instead of fixing word decided to brake outlook).

Anyway, I would like to add a simple
<style>
p, ul {font-size:12px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"}
</style>

And use one of these classes to automatically apply to each paragraph and inline the css.

Hopefully it will allow civimail to generate better formatted mails.

Thought about defining a setting

 define( 'CIVICRM_MAIL_AUTOINLINE_STYLE' , 1 );


What do you think ?
