if you copy this to a lone html file it works perfectly.<br>so the problem is the order of loading of the css files and the cascade weight of what you have put into the html as the old-fashioned "style" attribute of the html tag.
<br><br>this goes in and is overridden somewhere by a statement in the theme's css styling.<br><br>perhaps some Garland buff can tell us where; have you tried putting the appropriate css statements in style.css (if it is customized, does it need to go into the appropriate ./file/color... directory???);

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">that didn't work either. I even tried:<br><br><ul style="background-image:none;list-style-type:none;">
<br> <li style="background-image:none;list-style-type:none;">Apples</li><br> <li style="background-image:none;list-style-type:none;">Bananas</li><br> <li style="background-image:none;list-style-type:none;">Pears</li>
<br></ul><br><br>and the white graphical discs remain steadfastly. I don't intend to use this<br>to style but it's almost become a challenge by now. Drupal seems to be<br>ignoring the basic standards of cascading styles and I have seen this is
<br>other places. Ho hum....<br><br><br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Garrett Coakley" <<a href="mailto:garrett@polytechnic.co.uk">garrett@polytechnic.co.uk</a>><br>To: <<a href="mailto:support@drupal.org">
