Hi
I have a VB Script which queries various IT systems then produces and HTML report which it saves as a file on the file server and uses this also to produce an HTML format e-mail.
I've been rewriting the HTML code produced by the VB script to use CSS. This new style code is working fine when I open the .htm file, in that it's using the Verdana/Sans-serif font/font-family I've specified, but the Outlook e-mail is now displayed as Times New Roman.
I can bully it in to submission by using an old-style <font face="Verdana"> tag but that just throws out the CSS!
It shouldn't be this hard, should it?
Here's an example of the resultant code:
(Note that code such as '<FONT color=#000000>' is due to be replaced by the appropriate <SPAN CLASS=' lines.)
So, what the heck is going on when the HTML e-mail is being produced/displayed in Times New Roman?
