Unable to get HTML formatting to work in GMAIL

Question

I have a powershell script that sends an email in HTML formatting looks great in Outlook, but does not work in GMAIL, any suggestions? HTML used:

#HTML $a = "<style>" $a = $a + "TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;border-collapse: collapse;}" $a = $a + "TH{border-width: 1px;padding: 10px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}" $a = $a + "TD{border-width: 1px;padding: 10px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;}" $a = $a + "</style>" 

Thanks.

GMail prefers inline styles. Thus:

 <table style="border: 1px solid black; border-style: collapse;"> <tr style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 10px;"> <td style="border: 1px solid black; padding: 10px;"> </td> </tr> </table>
