How does a person go about creating an HTML-based E-
message in Outlook? I would like to use attractive
backgrounds, graphics, tables, etc. I know how to use
FrontPage. So, how do I get this magic into Outlook

If you create a htm-file with FrontPage already it's easy;
Choose Insert-> File...-> browse to your htm-file-> press the little
down-arrow on the Insert button-> choose Insert as Text

Make sure you test the message first to make sure all format is supported by
Outlook
