For anyone interested, I managed to get it working properly after lots of experimentation. Eric was close; you just need to include "border-collapse: separate;" in the Table tag to get it working properly.
<table style="border-collapse:separate;border:10px #00c double;padding:5px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="border:10px #c00 double;padding:10px;background:#ccc;color:#000;"> Test </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
