Auto CSS head styles to body styles?
March 28, 2008 8:25 AM

What's that program that takes CSS styles defined in the head of an HTML document and applies them to each element's style attribute? It's for HTML email-making, where such a nonsensical thing is desirable.

I believe it was a command line program, and I believe it was written in Python. I've done a good bit of Googlin', and I'm starting to think I imagined the whole thing.

Please note that if you've been out of the HTML email business for a while, Outlook 2007 uses the freakin' MS Word HTML rendering engine, so much of your CSS may be for naught.
