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.
