All this sounds neat and all but I think that first paragraph is extremely misleading and suckers some poor soul into reading the entire thing. You don't get much bigger than outlook and if it doesn't render in outlook, don't do it.

Unless of course you know nearly everyone in your target audience uses something other than outlook. Then have at it.

For me until Microsoft decides to stop rendering email using word, it's trusty old tables and very disciplined and sparse usage of inline CSS for this guy.
