Background Color

I have built an asp app that sends an e-card to selected recipients along
with the text entered by the user. Well, on some machines the text is not
visible because the background color of the table is not going across
correct. The background color is supposed to be teal with white letters.
However the background is going across white with withe letters on some
machines. I am using the same browser (version and everything) as one of the
machines that can't see it the correct way. I am able to see it fine. I have
put in the back color for all of the cells the table, etc but it's still
going through white. What would cause this to happen?

show code....
Are you sending them a link to your site?
How are you specifying the color? (name, rgb, hex)?

No the e-card displays in their e-mail (very standard) The background is
white in the e-mail but teal on my computer and many others. I'm using HEX.

if its in the e-mail its not an ASP issue.. most likely they have HTML
turned off in their e-mail app... I know I would. It's not safe :}
