If you're sending the email as HTML, then why don't you put the CSS inside the HTML?
I.e.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head><title>The Webmaster Forums - Search Results</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a.nav {color: white; font-weight: bold; font-size: 8pt; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;}
a.nav:hover {color: #cccccc; text-decoration: underline;}
.thtcolor {COLOR: #ffffff}
-->
</style>
<body...

All you are telling it to do is have a white background and change the scrollbar colour. I don't think you can change the scrollbar colour on email systems, that only works on IE browsers.
