    CSS classes are ignored by email clients. If you are using standalone clients like Outlook Express, divs will also not be recognized (dont depend on float:left).

    I suggest you to change your HTML page like –

    1. Drop everything outside the <body>...</body>
    2. Use <table> instead of <div>
    3. Dont use <style> tags to define style-classes, or .css file to load styles. Instead use inline css like style="...." inside the <td> / <table> containers.

    Hope this helps you in email template designing.
