<body>
<STYLE>
body {font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode","Lucida Grande",sans-serif; 
font-size:12px; background-color:#eeeeee;}
td {font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode","Lucida Grande",sans-serif; 
font-size:12px; }
a {color:#9E0000;}
a:hover {color:#666666;}
h2 {background-color:#9E0000; color:#ffffff; padding:2px 4px; }
h3 {background-color:#B13333; padding: 2px 4px; }
h3 a {color:#000000; text-decoration:none;}
h3 a:hover {color:#eeeeee;}
.news-latest-item img {border:1px solid #000000;}
</STYLE>
<table>
... etc.

This works perfectly, except for the border and the padding on Outlook 
2007. Because it still looks very acceptable and Outlook 2007 only is 
small percentage of users I prefer to use it.
