The last CSS rule is to “revert all styles for LaPoste webmail,” as it says in the comment. If you don’t have any subscribers using LaPoste webmail, then you could leave it out.
The Dark Mode query goes where it says /embedded email styles go here/ because it’s an embedded email style. While not everyone sends with Dark Mode, we still included it.
The darkmode class is there so that people can target the body for Dark Mode specifically. Having it there is an easy way to target it for people who are looking too.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Cyrill! We're looking into this and will get to updating the blog shortly.
