Inline the CSS

Before sending HTML emails you should inline your CSS.

We recommend using Premailer to accomplish this.

Our repo contains both the original templates with a separate CSS stylesheet, as well as templates with CSS already inlined for you to preview. See the /templates/inlined folder.
