Well, if there is no stylesheet then inline CSS via the style attribute is preferred way to go. FONT tags have been deprecated for a while (since HTML 4 Strict I believe).

I don't think you missed much but getting a good handle on HTML support across email clients would put marketers 98% of the rest. It's very frustrating trying to get people to understand why we can't do certain things in email.

Mobile/Tablet web sites/apps vs native apps would be great too.

Your mention of the "FONT" tag above is giving me cold sweats nightmares... you meant to mention to ONLY use it HTML newsletters, correct? :)

Excellent post Morgan. It's no wonder so many people feel "marketers are evil" when people are tricked into purchasing something they really didn't need... or they needed to buy something that should have come with the product or service they invested in.

E.G. I can live with buying a monitor adapter for my laptop (how many people really need one?) but if I need to pay extra just to get some RAM into the thing I will tell everyone I know and anyone who will listen to me on Twitter, Facebook, listserves, etc. to stay the heck away. Bad press travels much faster than good press.
