                <Column style={{ width: '80%' }}>

                </Column>

              </Column>
            </Row>

          </Button>
        </Container>
      </Body>
    </Html>
  );
}

export default function PasswordReset({ resetUrl, expiresIn }) {
  return (

      <Body style={main}>
        <Container style={container}>
          <Heading>Reset Your Password</Heading>

    },
  },
  text: {
    color: '#000000',
    '@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)': {
      color: '#ffffff',
    },
  },
};

// Or with Tailwind
<Body className="bg-white dark:bg-gray-900">
  <Text className="text-black dark:text-white">
    Content
  </Text>
</Body>

Best Practices

Use inline styles - Most email clients don't support <style> tags
Keep width under 600px - Standard email width
Test across clients - Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail behave differently
Provide plain text - Some clients prefer it
Use web-safe fonts - Or provide fallbacks
Include Preview component - Improves inbox appearance
Add alt text - Images may be blocked
