How can I do an inline pseudo-style (a.link, a.hover, a.visited)? Since I mostly design e-newsletters, I need to use inline styles so the major browser-based email providers (Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail) will interpret my CSS and not strip it out. Anyone know if this is even possible to have pseudo-styles. Thanks!

It's not possible. You can declare the styles in the head with style tags instead of using external CSS.

the problem is hotmail and Google strip out all coding preceeding the <body> tag. Also, the aforementioned email providers get rid of any <style> tag in the html. The only to have css is to use inline styles. Unless you know of a workaround for this.

Yeah, I've read that documentation. Unfortunately, when it comes to Hotmail, CSS is hard pressed. Nothing in there about inline pseudo styles. Guess it's just not possible.
