Unfortunately, you do have to type out the element name. I'm not sure where
you are getting "h7.mail" from though... the heading (h*) elements only go
from h1 to h6.

"DIV.mail td p" is a reference to all paragraphs inside of table cells
contained in DIV.mail (all p's in td's in DIV.mail). But this is not what
you want. You SHOULD write it like this:
div.mail td, div.mail p {
background: #fff !important;
color: #000 !important;
font-size: 12pt !important;
font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, "sans serif";
padding: 10px !important;
}
This will style all of the td's and p's in div.mail.
HTH,
