its very simple really... make an HTML page as normal. as you are using dreamweaver it'll sort the character set and encoding etc for you. avoid CSS for positioning - stick to tables (nested) etc. css is ok for text styling. some agencies do it all "old school" - font tags and everything. any "style" content from the header should be moved into the top of the body! as you say, all images absolute linked.
in outlook (and express) set mail format to html. create a new mail template using your html page. then set it to "NOT send pictures from the internet" and there you go. works with any complexitity of code.
then everytime you go "new mail" you'll get a mail using your template... then just type (if you need to) and hit send.
this should work in everything
tip: make email no wider than 600px - if someone prints it this is the width of an a4 page
