Patting myself on the back after much trial and error creating html email. Was finally able to achieve identical look and layout across most email clients. Most books on the subject weren't of any help when working to get Outlook 2007 and 2010 to behave and accept background images.
Outlook is horrible, depending on the version of IE installed or how Word handles HTML is basically a total unknown. Its lack of support for background images and transparent PNG's is also a pain.
Looks like Outlook 2013 wont be any better, its still using Word as its HTML processor.
