Hi,

Try changing

Code: Select all

 
.body { 
   font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; 
   font-size: 10px; 
   text-decoration: none; 
   color: #FFFFFF 
   text-align: justify; 
   padding: 15px; 
   height: auto; 
   width: auto; 
   background-position: center; 
   border: none; 

}  

to

Code: Select all

body, p, td { 
   font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; 
   font-size: 10px; 
   text-decoration: none; 
   color: #FFFFFF 
   text-align: justify; 
   padding: 15px; 
   height: auto; 
   width: auto; 
   background-position: center; 
   border: none; 
}  

Note that I removed the dot before body.

Regards
