email CSS formating

  • I have a problem with images alignment in my newsletters.

    I can format everything like in WP post and move image to the right or left hand side, with text nicely floating around it. But when I send it and open in gmail, all is corrupted because images just stay on the left without floating text, like there were no formating.

    I can work it around manualy inserting style=”float: right;” CSS statement and all works correctly.

    Unfortunately it doesn’t work with my friends who are not fluent in HTML/CSS coding. It takes long time to explain them what to do and always ends up with “can you do it for me please?”

    Is there any way to do it more easy way?

    You can use the old align attribute in html tags:
    <img src="image.jpg" align="right">
    Maybe it’s a bit easier for your friends.
    The email clients like old html… You can find links to some guides here:

    Thank you eventualo for answer, but old-fashioned align doesn’t resolve my problem. What about margins? You want some blank space around the image, don’t you?

    I understand, after some digging through the net, that there is no way to use embedded CSS in emails, because many clients don’t respect it. They only allow limited scope of inline CSS.

    Some workaround to this could be custom inline CSS field in WP image editing form. Maybe WP guys will do sth like this in future?

    BTW
    Do you know any WP plugin extending image editing form this way? Adding custom inline CSS (like custom CSS class)?

    I don’t know about plugins, but you can use online tools.
    Try to search something like “online inline css generator” and see if you find something useful for your purpose (please share if you find it).

    “online inline css generators” don’t work ??
    They simply don’t know oryginal CSS classes definitions refered to in HTML like alignright
