I send around 200 emails a day to our clients. The message is a bill
laid out to allow the recipient to enter some additional details and
then forward it to their client.

The images are a combination of company logo and of photos of work
we've undertaken.

The work I had to do to make it work for Outlook was as described
(HTML Tables with limited CSS). It works nicely in Outlook 2003+,
Thunderbird, Outlook Express.

For those with a problem, I have a link to the online version.

I use PHPGuru's RMail (similar to PHPMailer).

But hit and miss would certainly be how I'd describe getting it
working for Outlook 2007.
