Rails library for inlining css:

Actually this is a python project using CSSUtils and lXML
This is going to be a huge help in the day job - thanks.

I always use this one: http://code.dunae.ca/premailer.web/

Cool, but might I ask, why would I need this? If an email client can deal with html, can't it deal with CSS as well?
You can support CSS and not the <style> tag. This tool converts a stylesheet to inline styles for you. One great example for usage is in an eBay auction.
Email clients are known for handling HTML in a variety of broken ways, one worse than the other. From what I remember Notes is the worst one to handle, followed by Outlook. Since a few people use those clients, writing stuff they can display is required.
A funny thing I've read is that Outlook 2007 is apparently worse than the 2003 version. See e.g. http://www.google.se/search?q=outlook+html+rendering

It seems to do what it advertises well, but it's still not very useful in real life: it doesn't warn when you use poorly supported styles, e.g. background-image isn't supported in Outlook 2007.
This is awesome. I occasionally do email mailouts for an old friend and its normally pretty manual. I was thinking about getting around to building something like this, but this works perfectly!
If there is no open source library available to convert stylesheets+HTML to inline CSS, it would be a good idea to consider open sourcing some of the code behind this app.
Either way, very nice app - great job!
