I'm currently working on an HTML email and the recipients are mostly Outlook users. I've been testing my design, followed a lot of rules around the web, but I cannot change the basic font size...

Can anyone help or point me in the direction of how this is done?

I've tried :
Inline CSS on the <p> tag, and also tried with <span>
<style> declaration at the top of the page.

I just want my headings to be white (image background) and text to be 11pt arial grey.

Why can't I do this?

and also....

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:600px;" align="center">
<tr bgcolor="#9a9a9d">
<td colspan="2"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><A style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.llisl.com/newsletter/newsletter-may08.html">Click here</A></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> if you can't see images on this email.</SPAN></td>
</tr> 
</table>

is overridden by outlook, yet the rest of the email is formatted?

<span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; color:#000000;">LLISL expands Client Relations Team</span><br />

Please help....

I haven't been able to find any settings in Outlook that control HTML formatting of incoming messages. I would focus on finding how to control HTML mail rendering in Outlook.

Peace...

HTML emails are always difficult for me. Email clients render HTML so much differently than browsers that it gets frustrating. Can you post all of your code for the email? Maybe someone can take a look at it and see what's wrong.
