Okay, so I have a program that sends an email when it is finished running. I use inline css to format the email. This was working up until yesterday however now I am seeing different formats depending on which email account I view the email in. It coincides with an upgrade from Selenium 2.35.0 to 2.37.0 however I don't think this is my issue since I rolled back to 2.35.0 and it still happens.

package tests;

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;

public class TESTTEST {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
    Properties props = new Properties();        
    props.put("mail.smtp.host","xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx");      
    Session session = Session.getInstance(props);   

    String emailFrom="[email protected]";
    String emailTo1="[email protected]";


    MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
    message.setSubject("Testing HTML Email");
    message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(emailFrom));

    String htmlBody = "<STYLE>body {font-family:sans-serif,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9pt;}"
             +"TABLE {border-collapse:collapse;border:1px solid black;}"
             +"TH {background-color:grey;color:white;padding:5px;border:1px solid black;font-size:9pt;}"
             +"TD {padding:5px;border:1px solid black;font-size:9pt;}"
             +"H3 {font-size:12pt;}"
             +".PASSED {background-color:#00FF00}"
             +".FAILED {background-color:#FF0000}"
             +".SKIPPED {background-color:#DEDEDE}"
             +".ITALIC {font-style:italic}"
             +"</STYLE>"
             + "<TABLE><TR><TD CLASS=PASSED>FAIL</TD><TD STYLE=background-color:#FF0000>FAIL</TD></TR></TABLE>";

      message.setContent(htmlBody, "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");

      message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,new InternetAddress(emailTo1));

      Transport.send(message,message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO));

      System.out.println(htmlBody);
      System.out.println("Email Sent");
 }  
}

When I view the email in Hotmail/Outlook.com, it looks fine

hotmail

In Gmail

In Lotus Notes
