Right, I want to jazz up my emails with a nice letter head sort of job.

What do I need?

I have a fairly basic knowledge of html and css but it's enough to get me by.

Do I need any particular kind of email client in order to send HTML emails? Currently I use Mail on OS X with my Gmail account. I also have webmail with my hosting (Horde or SquirrelMail if it helps any).

Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Been a number of threads about this, all with good information. Have a search.

Couldn't really find anything by searching. But I'm not sure what I should be searching for. I tried html email, and email on it's own brings up 500 mostly unrelated threads.

I'll look into Thunderbird, although it would be nice if I could use Mail. It has a lovely uncluttered interface that I love.
