i've always found that using html 3.2 is the best solution and works for jsut about anything. T ogo along wiht that, if you use one of those browser based WYSIWYG textarea replacements, (on ie pc), they generate html3.2 code for you which works well.
I've ween xhtml /css work fine for outlook, outlook express, hotmail and yahoo. You just need to be sure to use local styles instead of a linked sheet.
sitepoints look really good, and viewing the source, it seems they use html 3.2 with a comment up top for text based browsers.
Also, most pop3 clients can read multipart emails. For clients, I usually create an email form with both the WYSIWYG form as well as an ascii only form and send them both in a multipart email so everyone gets the full message formatted according ot their email client, which has worked very well thus far.
good luck!
