Flatten css into html for email purposes

Folks,

I use basic html/css to construct a page that I want to email. I've read in a number of places that email clients don't handle css very well. Is there a way to flatten the css into the html to generate a pure html page that can be emailed?

There's no tool that will take my existing CSS in <head><style>... and convert to html or in-line the css?

You can try this app:

Thanks folks! That premailer tool is exactly what I need. I'll digest these comments and assign points tomorrow.

Premailer looked promising, however its butchering my layout past a certain point in the file. there's no logical reason for this because the layout is consistent across the file (I have like 5 tables, one after the other, each in their own <p>).

Anyways, I found this tool which seems to work great:
