CSS is not currently supported, but probably could be (after a
security review). Images are not enabled at all (at least for now)
except as attachments.

These work for all cases we've seen. If you find an email that should
render in webmail but doesn't, send it along (preferably as a gzip'd
attachment).

Let me know what you find. We support the tags listed below:

br
em
strong
dfn
code
samp
kbd
var
cite
abbr
acronym
q
blockquote
sub
sup
tt
i
b
big
small
u
s
strike
font
table
caption
colgroup
col
thead
tfoot
tbody
tr
th
td
ins
del
a
h1
h2
h3
h4
h5
h6
p
div
span
ul
ol
li
dl
dt
dd
address
hr
pre
center
nobr
img

But, you'll notice, not all tag attributes are supported for security
(such as the img tag's 'src' attribute).

Here are the supported img attributes:

alt
width
height
border
hspace
vspace
align

and table attributes:

rules
bgcolor
width
height
cellspacing
cellpadding
border
bordercolor
bordercolorlight
bordercolordark
summary

Anything else you want to know?
