Enhancing the visual appeal of Rails mailer

Why do I receive default style emails in my mailbox despite styling them in the code? When I look at Gmail, it shows the default layout instead. Here is a snippet of my code:

!!!
%html
  %head
    %meta{:content => "text/html; charset=utf-8", "http-equiv" => "Content-Type"}
      %title Purchase of Auto Parts
      :css
        body, td { background-color:#cecece; color:#000000; font-size:14px; font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; }
        .blue { background-color: blue; height:2px; color: white; }
        .notice {margin: 10px auto;  background-color: #fbb752;  border: 1px solid #cecece; }
  %body
    .blue
      %h3
        New Order
      %b
        Attention, a new order has been placed on the website!
        = @order.id
    .notice
      %table
        %tr
          %th
            Client ID
          %th
            Street
          %th
            Building
          %th
            Total Cost
          %th
            Status
          %th
            Opened
        %tr
          %td
            = @order.user.id
            = @order.user.email
          %td
            %b
              = @order.street
          %td
            = @order.building
          %td
            %b
              = @order.totalcost
          %td
            %b
              = @order.orderstatus.name
          %td
            = @order.created_at
      %br/
      %table
        %tr
          %th
            SKU
          %th
            Price
          %th
            Quantity      
        - @order.line_items.each do |l|
          %tr{ :class => cycle("zebra-stripe zebra-grey zebra1", "zebra-stripe zebra-grey zebra2")}      
            %td
              = l.description
            %td
              = l.price
            %td
              = l.quantity

How can I ensure that my mailer sends well-styled emails to my email service (Gmail) as seen in my code?

Answer №1

In Gmail, any <style> tags included in HTML emails will be removed.

To ensure your styles show up correctly in Gmail, it is recommended to use inline style attributes.
