Can you change the explicit style attributes on elements into style classes, and then
include a CSS section inline within the HTML part?

This would avoid hardcoding the various styles used in the mail, and have the additional
benefit of being able to move the CSS outside the code, importing it somewhere from the
/usr/share or alternatively the ~/.kde tree.

This also allows for easy theming or distro-branding, and style sharing among other PIM
applications.

As an example of my argument then this would become
<span class="link"><a ... ></span>
