Global Email CSS Styling - How to get it working?

[(iTD)]

I am running version 5.0.3. In Setup > Global Settings, under the Mail tab is: Global Email CSS Styling. I don't think I am using this correctly, as the resulting emails from my WHMCS do not contain the stylings I have entered there. All I want to do is change the font. Here's everything I have in that field:

 

*, body, td { font-family: verdana; font-size:12px; font-weight: normal; }

a { color: #0000ff; }

 

When emails arrive, the font is a default Times New Roman, and not the Verdana I have showing above.

 

What have I done wrong?

 

Thanks,

remove *,

 

just

body, td { font-family: verdana; font-size:12px; font-weight: normal; }
a { color: #0000ff; }

Thanks . I ended up building some tables to make the emails look nicer and applied the css there instead. I will go and get rid of the *, to make sure the code stays clean.
