I am not sure, but I tried it in Office XP and I was able to design message templates. If you want to do that, check if you can go to Tools > Forms > Design a Form. From the toolbar in outlook. If that worked you'll see a few options like appointment, message and post. I selected message and it brought the default template up, then I was about to move objects, change colours and add imagery. But I am not sure if it works for all versions.

Umm that's what you wanted to modify, the templates, it ranges from every template...meaning if you don't like writing mail in plain dull white you could make it grey.
That, in my opinion is the best and easiest way to do it.

you're right, i did ask how to create a template, it is ugly though, it reminds me of access...
so, within my template, is there a way to specify which account it should be sent from?

Well, it's a template, but I don't think microsoft wanted you to change to much. Because you can change it however you want, but when the person who you send it to looks at it, they will see that nothing changed. It is only a way to change it so it appeals to you.
To get it to change like that you might have to reverse engineer outlook, lol.

no, there's a way to make it so that when i send an email the person who receives it will see what i want them to see, i know there is because i helped a friend do it a few years back, i just can't remember how...
and i don't remember how to use it anymore, but i'm pretty sure that outlook had preinstalled backgrounds for a stationary like effect on the email...

In Office 2k3 it is under themes for othere versions of outlook the below will work
How to Use Outlook Stationery Files:
if downloading a stationary file follow this little 3 step thing if creating your own just save them in the folder listed in step 2
1) Download File
2) Place Files in the following directory on your computer:
C: \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery
3) When composing email in Outlook or Outlook Express:
Select Format/Apply Stationery/(select your stationary)
Im still looking at how to create the stationary files for you
***EDIT*** It looks like the stationary files are realy just HTML docs saved in the C: \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery folder
Yeah just set your formatting rules like any other website and you will be all set. here is the code for the Network Blitz Stationary file. there is a Image in teh stationary folder
If you save your "template" in that folder along with the graphics you want to use you should be all set.
HOLY COW DID I JUST HELP SOMEONE WITH A PROGRAMMING RELATED QUESTION??????? I think I am loosing my Hardware Exclusivity.
