title: Removing date/time styling from HTML email iPhone
body: <p>I've created a responsive HTML email which works fine across many different platforms except when viewed on iPhone.</p>
  
  <p>It seems that iOS is recognising a date + time and applying a blue colour/underline to the content. I've researched this issue for the past couple hours and am at a dead end.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried turning format detection off for phone numbers:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried including <code>date</code> and <code>address</code> in this too:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no, date=no, address=no"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried adding <code>!important</code> to the styles on the element with still no luck:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;h4 style="font-size: 16px;color: #FFFFFF !important; text-decoration:none !important;font-family: Arial;font-weight: bold;padding: 0;margin: 0;text-align: left;line-height: 1.3;word-break: normal;" class="appleLinksWhite"&gt;
      Thursday 20th November
  &lt;/h4&gt;
  
  &lt;p style="color: #FFFFFF !important; text-decoration:none !important;margin: 0;margin-bottom: 0;font-family: Arial;font-weight: normal;padding: 0;text-align: left;line-height: 19px;font-size: 14px !important;" class="appleLinksWhite"&gt;
      10:45am until 12:30pm,&lt;br&gt;The Feast, Suffolk Food Hall, Ipswich
  &lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried adding a class to the elements <code>.appleLinksWhite</code> as recommended <a href="https://litmus.com/blog/remove-blue-links-ios" rel="nofollow">here</a> which still did not do the trick.</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried wrapping the inner contents in a <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> with the colour and text-decoration set and this still didn't work.</p>
  
  <p>I'm at a loss for other things to try. How can I disable this behaviour?</p>
  
  <p>Edit* It's worth noting that the issue is only with iPhone 4/5. iPhone 6/Plus are fine.</p>
