Here's a couple of good resources:

http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=StyleInEmail

http://alistapart.com/articles/cssemail/

The first is a good all around resource with a lot of info on CSS
in HTML emails.  The second is a brand new article from ALA that
explores further reliable methods of using CSS in HTML emails.
