The 1st rule of HTML club is - You do not use an MS product to make HTML.
The 2nd rule of HTML club is - You DO NOT use an MS product to make HTML.

If someone says IE or Outlook, your HTML is over.
Only standards compliant HTML is acceptable.
No MS Word, NO Frontpage.
HTML is an actual language, you have to learn it.
If this is your first night at HTML club, do not send an HTML newsletter.

Besides being a bad idea, this won't work with all email clients. Some, like Microsoft Entourage, will not let you paste html code into the body.

There are some good WYSIWYG editors that are not from Microsoft. I once worked for a while with Macromedia Dreamweaver (now owned by Adobe) for a class in college. It definitely had a steep learning curve at first, but part of what made it nice is that you could either use it as a WYSIWYG editor, code editor, or both. Also, it had tools and stuff to ensure that any code that it generated (or that you typed in) was standards compliant.

Yes, I agree that Microsoft's web page tools are pretty much junk in the grand scheme of things, but that doesn't necessarily mean that all WYSIWYG tools are junk. Lots of people out there would like to be able to create their own content, and you can't just tell them that they have to learn the code, because that just isn't going to happen.

The best way is to use some online newsletter software like Mailchimp or Moshi Toshi (www.moshi-toshi.com). They have WYSYWIG editors and possibility to check how your emailing look in different email clients.
