First of all, you need to confirm that the string you output is indeed not being transformed in transit or by the SMTP server (there might be filters on the SMTP server that apply certain transformations to received emails, and there might be content filters on the network borders.) You could also use some TCP dumper or logging proxy between your application (sender) and the server. You can also rewrite your CSS to some equivalent and see if this makes any difference: try "border-color: #d88b4c #d88b4c #d88b4c -moz-use- text-color;" instead of rgb().
