Firstly apologies with my limited knowledge, I am just starting out in CF.
So I am trying to send out an html email with cfmail when a form query is satisfied.
The problem I am having is that the css I am embedding within the email head is either throwing up errors or just not formatting at all. Please could someone look at my code and tell me where I am going wrong.
Incidentally when I take out the # tags in the css it seems to work but the email sends with no formatting!!!
<cfmail to="customer email" from="xxxxxxx@gmail.com" subject="Your order at has been shipped" type="html">

You should stick to inline styles for HTML emails rather than having your styles presented the way you are doing.
E.G.
