No.  It's not an issue with inserting them in the page; this can be  
done easily enough (?) with a preg_replace().  Instead, we go through  
all this trouble to create an environment where HTML can be rendered  
exactly how it is intended by the sender, and then we go introduce CSS  
that will surely affect the page layout (since we have several rules  
that are guaranteed to work on the entire document).

It may be possible to parse our CSS, extract just the rules needed,  
and then hardcode the styles in the header part.  But this is not  
trivial either.  And not something I'm willing to devote a large  
amount of time to.
