Default Special characters and table border in differents mails client

Hello,

I have a program who send XML mail to the client but the style of the mail is different, it depends of the mail client.
In Gmail, the special characters are good but there is no table border.
In Outlook and roundcube, the special characters are chinese characters or question mark and there is the table border.

What can I do the have the same result everywhere: special characters and table border?

Here is the code and the page where I define the css and another page that uses it: http://pastebin.com/QU7pWNMJ

Thank you for your help.

This isn't really got anything to do with XSLT has it?

Email clients are some of the worst HTML renders out there. Outlook is functionally equivalent to IE4 if I remember correctly.

Sorry, I post here because my pages are in XSLT. The topic must be moved?
It is possible that outlook is equivalent to IE4 but IE4 cannot show a special character written in unicode?

I was supposed that was just because my program is encoded in UTF-8 and the mails clients are encoded in ISO-8859-1. But I try to put my mail client in UTF-8 and nothing change.

Sorry, no idea. Not sure there is a Wrox forum for the topic you are asking about, its a bit of a black art from what I remember when I've tried to do it.
