Some opinions about forms?

You all always have such great suggestions; I'd like to get some opinions
about setting up custom email templates. I'm having something of a go-around
with some folks about creating templates for some emails that my small
department often needs to send to our customer base, typically anywhere from
200-3000 recipients at once. We'd like to create some standardized templates
and my first thought was to create and use Outlook forms. It has been
recommended to me to just create templates in Word and send from there
instead because Outlook forms may not be received correctly by non-Outlook
recipients. I also saw some links here to emailtemplates.com, so I'm looking
to see if a 3rd-party solution might do the trick.

Any suggestions for the best method to create templates for these types of
things? I'd like to have a standard form that can essentially just be filled
in, have the addresses added, and sent... with no formatting or effort
required by those using it. If we create Word forms, I would need to
'protect' it, but I'm not sure if it will email correctly as a locked form
(there's some testing to be done here)

TIA for any recommendations!

I'd probably use a purpose-built mass mail tool (see
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.htm#massmail) because these will
generally produce clearner and leaner HTML messages than using Word. Email
Templates would also be a viable choice, and has lots of other useful
features besides.

A mail merge with Word would be my second choice.

Outlook forms don't really have any mass mailing application.
