css overlapping

I am building a mail account (Inbox) which is sung css.now there is a specific mail which contains some css elements like

<div>Dear all,</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>wish u happy and safe diwali</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>luv</div> <div>Vinoth<BR><BR><B><I>Palanivel_J@Dell.com</I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2963" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE>v\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML) } o\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML) } w\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML) } .shape { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#VML) } </STYLE> <STYLE>@page Section1 {size: 8.5in 11.0in; margin: 1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; } P.MsoNormal { FONT-SIZE: 12pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman" } LI.MsoNormal { FONT-SIZE: 12pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman" } DIV.MsoNormal { FONT-SIZE: 12pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman" } A:link { COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline } SPAN.MsoHyperlink { COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION:
underline } A:visited { COLOR: purple; TEXT-DECORATION: underline } SPAN.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {


when this mail is opened,its css interfers with the css of the page.
as a result links all over the page are colored in blue.
what is the method to avoid or ignore any css of the mail.
Regards

There are 2 good ways of overlapping text or images using CSS code, the way depicted on this page, or by using the z-index which you can find here. We also have a overlapping text web site tool that automatically generates the code for you to copy and paste to your website page.

Are you referring to using CSS in an email client or a web browser? If the former, CSS in emails is usually quite tricky to do because support is even worse than it is for the web. If it's the later, you could try using the "!important" declaration in your external CSS, but that probably won't help. Remember the precedence for CSS...

@import CSS is overridden by...
<link> import CSS which is overridden by...
<style> CSS which is overridden by...
inline CSS
