title: Outlook 2010 not respecting CSS, even <font> tags for every text
body: <p>We need our emails to look good on machines that have Helvetic Neue. So our font stack is: </p>
  
  <pre><code>font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',HelveticaNeue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>We have the style declarations in each TD, each DIV, each TABLE, even BODy and everything. Still, Outlook breaks and defaults to an ugly Times New Roman when it doesn't find the first font in that listing -- isn't it supposed to go through the fonts and show the ones that do exist (Arial on Windows)? </p>
  
  <p>Frustrated, we even put these style declarations in ugly and laborious <code>&lt;font&gt;</code> tags all around the text. Any and all text has these declarations, with the styling done all over again inside the font tag's <code>&lt;style&gt;</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Litmus shows Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 showing these properly in Arial on Windows. </p>
  
  <p>Yet, at our office, all the folks are receiving these emails in Times New Roman. What am I missing? Any directions or pointers about why Outlook 2010 (the version we use) forces everything to Times New Roman? </p>
  
  <p>Other questions, such as this one -- <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10457006/outlook-2010-overriding-font-family-from-arial-to-times-new-roman">Outlook 2010 overriding font-family from Arial to Times New Roman</a> -- do NOT answer the question.  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks! Below is an example of code: </p>

  <pre><code>&lt;table align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="8" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,'Arial Unicode MS',Arial,sans-serif;font-size: 14px;color: #999999;border-spacing: 0;border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;td height="18" align="center" valign="middle" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,'Arial Unicode MS',Arial,sans-serif;font-size: 14px;color: #999999;border-top: 1px solid #dddddd;border-bottom: 1px solid #dddddd;border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;
           &lt;span class="hide-on-small" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,'Arial Unicode MS',Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #999999;  "&gt;Rummy &amp; Bingo Monthly&lt;img src="http://d3cbux4et72c14.cloudfront.net/wtd2/sep.jpg" alt=" - " width="55" height="10" style="border: 0;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Issue &lt;span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,'Arial Unicode MS',Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #999999;  "&gt;05&lt;/span&gt; &lt;img src="http://d3cbux4et72c14.cloudfront.net/wtd2/sep.jpg" alt=" - " width="55" height="10" style="border: 0;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,'Arial Unicode MS',Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #999999; "&gt;Aug 2013&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;/td&gt;
