How to make a nice mail in Outlook Express
First of all you have to make a nice image in a prober size. I made this

Then you have to make a background image, mine is 100 x 100 pixels

Now you open a new mail in your Outlook. Be sure that the format is HTML.

Click on Source. Find the two "Styles" tags - <styles></styles> Here you make the codes.

My codes looks like this:

BODY {

BORDER-RIGHT: #f7ffe1 6px inset; BORDER-TOP: #f7ffe1 6px outset; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; BORDER-LEFT: #f7ffe1 6px outset; COLOR: #f7ffe1; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #ffffff; BORDER-BOTTOM: #f7ffe1 6px inset; FONT-FAMILY: comic sans MS; SCROLLBAR-BASE-COLOR: #bfbf9d; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #bfbf9d;

Feel free to copy them, and paste them in your mail. Then you can edit the colors and borders.

Click on the "Edit" tab, and insert your image.

This is how my mail ended up.
You can have any background you want, just remember that your image must have the same background color as the background in your mail.
