Any designer who has been sending HTML knows the annoyance of dealing with email clients like Gmail that strip out CSS from the head of the email. To get around it you need to painstakingly add inline styles to each element.

That can be very time consuming, especially if you need to go back and change a style in many places. Fortunately, super smart Campaign Monitor customer Alex Duane has developed a useful script that takes your page from a URL, strips the CSS from the head and automatically produces a version with those styles inline.

Not only that, but it also checks your styles against our guide to CSS support and lets you know about possible issues. It doesn't handle every stylesheet, and MailBuild tags can cause issues, so it is best used as a step between your initial HTML and CSS design and adding the MailBuild tags.

Check out premailer and see how it can save you some time.
