I'm hoping someone can dumb this whole thing down for me. It seems really straightforward but I can not get any CSS I put in the Style section of the settings to work. Header and footer—no problem. But anything I put in for the style (even as simple as a background color) doesn't stick. It looks like all of the CSS from my site is loaded into the message and overrides any changes I make in the style section.

Hoping someone I can get help understanding this and getting it to work for me.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Ditto. I can't make the change in the CSS style section work either, but I got around it by inserting my own style rules into the header.

Here is a copy of mine, edit to your own liking and DIV labels: 

<STYLE type="text/css">
* {
    background-image: none !important;
    background: none !important;
}

newsletter_logo {
    clear:both;
    margin: 5px 15px 5px 25px;
}

newsletter_buttons {
    clear:both;
}

newsletter_body * {
    background-image: none !important;
}

.simplenews-template-body {
    clear: both;
    margin-top: 15px;
}

body {
    background-image: none !important;
    padding: 5px;
    background: none !important;
}

</STYLE>

Hi! I did exactly the same, but it is not working for me... All styles just dropped in the email.
Did you you use classes or ID-s?
