Description

When an HTML Newsletter is created and 'Previewed', what is shown uses the linked CSS styles for the site's theme that are available to the browser - but these will not be available when the Newsletter is received as an e-mail and viewed in an e-mail client like Outlook. Generally speaking e-mail clients need to have in-line styling/'old fashioned' HTML tags.

It would be more sensible if (somehow?) the Preview function in Newsletters only used the formats/styling that was in-line/directly embedded in the content since this would generally provide a more realistic idea of how the Newsletter would look when it arrived as an e-mail - although depending upon the e-mail client even embedded styling may sometimes be stripped out.

So perhaps, at least, the Preview screen should warn users of this problem??

FIXED with newsletter.css custom css now in use
