I've coded a HTML email.

I've tried setting line-height inline using pixels and percentages and gmail seems to ignore everything. Is there a way of setting this or will gmail always strip my line-height value?

psuedo-code is:

<span style="line-height: 110%">Text content</span>

Have you tried using another unit? Maybe em or just a multiplier without a unit? line-height: 2 for example doubles the value of the font-size.

Otherwise check http://24ways.org/2009/rock-solid-html-emails for more information about HTML e-mails and post us your complete code.

I always use the style below to fix the line-height in Gmail.

.ExternalClass * {
line-height: 100%;
