I am working on an email newsletter. Everything else is in place and working fine, except for the body background color, or it’s the body width at 100% that is not working.

Any idea what I have done wrong here, or how can I make it work?

URL of my newsletter: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29654441/Accessibility/New%20folder/newsletter_issue1/newsletter_inline.html

The body element is ignored by most mail clients. If you need a background, you'll have to make a container element and add the background to that.
