My new office uses Front Page for web development. So far, there is no CSS whatsoever; just old fashioned tables and whatnot in webpages. I hope to begin retro-fitting the many websites with CSS soon.

Can CSS be implemented into HTML emails? I realize this would be embedded CSS, not linked css files, but can email browsers display CSS-coded material? It would be neat to have marquee or blink style type for several items we send out.

I am new to CSS so forgive the lack of correct terminology :p

CSS that renders correctly across all the email clients is pretty big headache at the moment. :\

No joke. I spend more time editing for compatibility than coding a mass email. Outlook likes to chomp characters, OE seems to leave it intact for the most part but seems picky on some literals, and sqmail takes hitting 2 safdety buttons on a secure website to show HTML.

A standardized way of interpreting HTML email in 3rd party clients would be nice.
 
Like everyone else said, email clients' rendering sucks. Outlook, Groupwise, Evolution and Thunderbird can all display radically different things. It's really just best to stick to keeping email as simple as possible.
