title: Applying HTML formatting in email's body
body: <p>I am still trying to figure out, why i cannot apply HTML formatting in the body of a custom email. I am sure i am missing something, or i need a new pair of eyes! </p>
  
  <p>Here is the info added to the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> of the web page</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;head runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;link href="~/MyStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>Mystyle.css</code> contains the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>span.orange
  {
      color: #FF6D06;
      font-family: tahoma;
      font-size: 10pt;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and here comes the body part...</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim HtmlString as string = "&lt;span class='orange'&gt;This one should be painted&lt;/span&gt;" 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which is sent by using Net.Mail</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim objMail As New Mail.MailMessage (blah, blah blah)
  objMail.IsBodyHtml = True
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> First of all thank you for your comments. The email itself is not in any way referenced with the style sheet in any way. So what options do i have besides attaching the style sheet to the email? </p>
