You know how different browsers display Web pages differently? From a development standpoint, it takes some massaging and understanding the shortfalls of various browsers to get a page to display the way you would like. When it comes to HTML email, getting your message to display as you would like is a bit more complicated. Web browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome) all use the code you write to display a page verbatim. Email clients, on the other hand (Outlook, Hotmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, Gmail, etc.), insert, update, and neglect code that the developer writes.
