Dreamweaver CS4 - stop the CSS?

Hey all - I recently switched to CS4 from Dreamweaver MX. I design a TON of HTML e-mails. Best practice for deliverability says NO CSS in HTML emails.

With DW CS4 - everything I do seems to force CSS. If I simply want to bold or italisize text, it opens a CSS rule window. No good. Same thing with plain background colors.

Is there some way to revert or change views so CS4 will offer the "plain old" options?

Is it all still there - I'm just missing it?

I would like to know as well... it seems they got rid of the old bottom color panel for HTML editing.
