Yeah, thought of that, but that requires giving the td's a class ...
want to keep the CSS as simple and compact as possible as it's going to
end up in HTML email. But seeing the idea in front of me inspired a
solution that completely works:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />

form here gets styles are from external stylesheet.

#preview.td { style def 2 }

<div id="preview">

<cfsavecontent variable="my_preview">

<td>gets style def 2</td>

</cfsavecontent>

<cfoutput>#my_preview#</cfoutput>

</div>

<cfsavecontent variable="my_html_email">

td { style def 2 }

<cfoutput>#my_preview#</cfoutput>

</cfsavecontent>
