I haven't been following your thread so I am not sure what you want to
do. If you want to center a division with left text then all you need to
do is. It is probably going to wrap in the mail.
<div id="something1" style="margin-lef:50%; margin-right:
50%;text-align:left; white-space:nowrap;">
do this<br />
do that<br />
do otherstuff<br />
</div>
If you need to use two division for some reason like your example then do.
<div id="something1" style="margin-left:50%; margin-right:50%;">
<div id="something" style="text-align:left;white-space:nowrap;">
do this<br />
do that<br />
do otherstuff<br />
</div>
</div>
They both validate.
