Then Hybrid Coding / Spongy technique emerged: a mix of well balanced inline styles, with min-width/max-with and width tricks, letting also Gmail have its proper adaptive version even if not fully responsive. Someone started to use mobile-first templates, letting media queries manage the desktop version - where it was possible. Until Sept 2016 ( when Gmail started supporting non-inline styles and media queries), the most problematic clients were Outlook and Gmail (both web and app) to overcome these problems many techniques have been developed - mainly table based layouts with conditional comments to satisfy Outlook a lot of inlined CSS to make Gmail happy. Today most emails are read on mobile devices, so responsiveness is a must, but many email clients and webmails have a really limited support of media query, the main css way to make responsive html layout.

Then you find out that Yahoo App for Android doesn’t show your styles anymore because it will simply strip any style from the HEAD (why? who knows.)
So, the “new” rule is to put them in the HEAD. In past the best solution was to put the style declaration inside the body, but you know that since Oct 2016 Gmail introduced partial styles support and they only use them if they are declared in the HEAD. If you want high compatibility you probably inline your main styles, otherwise, , Naver, Telstra, T-Online, Terra, Yandex and many other won’t style anything.īut, you may also have other styles that are not inlined and you want them to be displayed by smart email clients.
