I’m trying to send an email with html formatting, but when it arrives (in gmail and on my phone), it has had all the tags removed and just a few lines of the text (no < or >). I have the header MIME-Version and content-type set correctly, and when I take the original message and place that into an html file, it shows with all the text. There are no class attributes set, but rather all stored in the style attribute. Does anyone know what is removing the tags and styling? Is it Gmail, or something I’m missing?

Styling emails is very limited, there are very few rules that are accepted and usually you set them inline style.
