Most clients, +especially web clients, ignore linked stylesheets or <style> tags in the HTML. +The workaround is to write all the CSS rules in the style attribute of each tag +inside your email. This is a rather tedious and hard to maintain approach. + +Premailer to the rescue! The great premailer gem applies all CSS rules to each +matching HTML element by adding them to the style attribute. This allows you to +keep HTML and CSS in separate files, just as you're used to from web +development, thus keeping your sanity. + +This gem is an adapter for premailer to work with actionmailer out of the box. +Actionmailer is the email framework used in Rails, which also works outside of +Rails. Although premailer-rails has certain Rails specific features, it also +works in the absence of Rails making it compatible with other frameworks such as +sinatra. |
