Issue with Font and underline in HTML email

Question

Hi, Wonder if anyone can help - I am testing an HTML email in various clients, it has a arial black set as a font, and the customer wanted the the underline taking off the link. All fine and dandy in browsers when i use the standard inline css to do this - However when I test in the clients the underline shows, after a bit of investigation it appears its arial black thats the issue. Is there anyway at all to use arial black and turn the underline off ?

<a href="" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial black, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; color:#000;text-decoration: none;">blah blah</a>

Answer 1

Put 'Arial Black' in quotes and see if that helps, like so:

style="font-family: 'Arial Black', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;/* ... */"

With the CSS font-family property, it is best practice to put quotes around font names that contains spaces.
