Scott,
errr, black text on black background is really hard to read!
I don't know if that's what it looks like for anyone else, but on Eudora on
my Windows box that's what I saw. I'm sure it looks more sensible to you,
but you might just want to tweak that stylesheet to include a foreground
colour as well as a background or just stick to plain colours. (a quick
look at the HTML source of your message, that's what it looked like the
problem was).
Cheers,
Mr Whingey ;-) (aka Pete!)
