Email Signature - CSS Font face and size is not being recognized by Lotus Notes Email Client

Asked by gwh2 in Lotus Notes, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Outlook Groupware Software

Tags: IBM, Lotus Notes, CSS, HTML

Hi,

I've created an html email signature and I'm using Outlook 2003 / 2007 to send it out. My problem involves Lotus Notes where it won't recognise the CSS rules I used to specify the font-family and size. It's making the size of the text a lot larger than what I have in my css rules and therefore the text is spilling out of the td element. The following is the code related to the problem:

[CODE]

 <td id="details" width="450" valign="top" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align:left; color:#666666; margin: 0; line-height: 19px; padding-bottom: 5px">

[/CODE]

I thought that Lotus Notes was okay with inline styles, in particular font-family and size, but I could be wrong. Does anyone know if this email client is known for such a problem and if so is there any workarounds?

The full email signature code is below.
