I have been using Microsoft Outlook since Office 2000 days to manage my emails. Prior to that I was using Outlook Express. I upgraded to Microsoft Office 2007 recently. What dismayed me is that instead of taking advantage of Internet Explorer 7, Outlook 2007 uses the very limited support for HTML and CSS that is built into Word 2007 to display HTML email messages.
As a result, all HTML emails in Outlook 2007 looks terrible:

With this release, Outlook drops from being one of the best clients for HTML email support to the level of Lotus Notes and Eudora. Why this change? I am thinking that sercurity might be an issue. Remove integration means that many insecure HTML/CSS items will not be support. However, this makes email designing a living hell.
Looks like I have to find alternative means to create nice emails. Hiaz... 
Something must break everytime Microsoft releases new software version.
