might not have looked hard enough or used the right phrasing, but couldn't find this anywhere.
is onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" supported in email clients (outlook, et al)?

<css>
<a href>.onmouseout {
image: image1.png;
}
<a href>.onmousein {
image: image2.png;
}
</css>

From my experience, any JS in an HTML will get stripped out for security reasons. Imagine if all the spam emails you received had malicious javascript stuff going on.

I'm trying to think of a way to do it using inline styles, but I'm drawing a blank... it's just not something I've ever seen in an HTML email

mailChimp has a feature that will help you figure out what works in an email and what doesn't with various clients.
Depends on the audience, if corp, assume no javascript, and very little CSS... i.e. Lotus CC:mail is very limited... you may have to go back to 1997 style code, tables,etc...

all css needs to be inline, will work then (no j/s) if you want to get past default junk filters. Outlook 7 uses the freakin Word html engine which means 1997/hell....padding sux, junk filter trips on words like 'unsubscribe' etc Just used Campaign monitor for the first time last week on a client campaign, would highly recommend reading some of their docs, they have an decenttest area too with junk filter tests and screenshots of all popular email clients.
Fookin nightmare if you don't do html emails often.
