Using HTML to create an email allows you to spice up email messages with objects such as images, signatures, bullets, horizontal lines and hyperlinks. You can use built-in stationery or even create your own custom stationery for email message backgrounds, or make a colorful newsletter to send out to customers or family members. While Microsoft 2007 does not support HTML, if you are using Microsoft 2003 or earlier you can enjoy the benefits of creating HTML email messages.
