That's why I said "if you could". I know it's not valid HTML. For some reason, style tags are only allowed inside the <head/>. My point was that I find it strange that HTML in general has this limit and that script tags are allowed in the <body/> as well.

I had missed the "if you could" part, sorry.

Browsers are actually okay with <style> tags in the <body> and apply the rules inside. Although MDN says they must be placed in the <head> [1]. Email clients seem to be a lot more restrictive, apparently. Or lazy.

Huh, I didn't know browsers are behaving this way these days. I believe I tried this several years ago and it didn't work. Or did I just read the standard? I'm not sure. Anyway, I always assumed it wouldn't work.
