The CSS certainly isn’t present in the source code after analysing the email with firebug but according to the email rendering test below, CSS in head does respond as true meaning the specific CSS class that triggers that specific table cell to change to green was parsed in some way by OWA. I’ve discovered that my original note of of all CSS in the head being removed is not entirely accurate. Office 365 wraps any email with a couple of divs which do include some classes and ID’s, however due to lack of CSS support in the head, client specific CSS is impossible, which is a shame as and even Outlook allows for conditional hacks.

Turns out after looking into things, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Office 365 OWA app is worse than Outlook 2007 – 2013 for standards support. I decided to purchase a single Office 365 Mailbox recently to see what exactly Office 365 (OWA) is doing to email in terms of the output after going through the pre-processor, after seeing some pretty weird results from inbox inspection test from Office 365.
