css print styles in outlook

[markbrum]

Hi,
I'm trying to use different styles in my html email by using:-

@media screen {
.tables { background-color: #999933; color: #FFFFFF }
}
@media print {
.tables { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #000000 }
}

embedded in my document, this isn't working, as soon as I enter the @ etc, Outlook no longer reproduces either rule.

Anyone know why? Thanks, Mark.

I'm fairly certain this has to do with the limited support that Outlook (version?) has for stylesheets. As far as I am aware, there is no way to supply different stylesheets for different media type (screen/print) in Outlook.

CSS defined either in the head section or inline works (as I'm sure you know).

Would be interested in reading any other feedback from users who may have worked on this in the past.
