Although cases have been made for the use of the style attribute, it is really a last resort, with, in increasing order of preference, id based selectors, and general rules, being preferred. Most presentational attributes in HTML have been deprecated since last century, and if there are some that still can only be implemented with HTML, the correct solution is to provide CSS formatting capabilities that allow them to be made redundant as well. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
