css - How can I remove all white space surrounding HTML email?

I've got the following html and css to be used as a template for generating e-mail messages.

But when it comes to receiving the e-mail on my postal programme I have a few pixels of white margins every side.

Is it possible to remove it while using divs or is there another way to avoid these annoying white spaces?

<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Lack of title</title>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Mono&subset=latin,latin-ext' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <style>
        body, html {
            margin: 0!important;
            padding: 0!important;
            background-color: gray;
        }

        #nav {
            height: 60px;
            width: 100%;
            background-color: #0078d7;
        }

        #content {
            width: 1160px;
            height: 800px;
            background-color: #6f6767;
            margin-left: auto;
            margin-right: auto;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="nav">
        {title}
    </div>
    <div id="content">
        {content}
    </div>
</body>

Different e-mail clients render HTML e-mails differently. But there are a few basic practices you should adhere to (see references below).

In looking at your code, there's a good chance your problem stems from the use of embedded styles. Here's what MailChimp has to say about that:

Because browser-based email applications, such as Gmail, strip out <head> and <body> tags by default, always use inline CSS over embedded CSS.

So, the padding: 0 and margin: 0 in your head section are possibly being ignored or overridden.

Designing HTML e-mails is not like designing HTML websites. There's a huge technology gap between e-mail clients and web browsers. It's as if browsers keep evolving, but e-mail clients are stuck in 1998.

In the world of HTML e-mail, embedded and external styles are bad, inline styles are good, javascript is bad, tables for layout are good. In this world, old-school coding methods are alive and well.
