As much as I am loath to suggest it, your path of least resistance may be to 
look at sending them as pdf attachments. microsoftie email app will 
autolaunch them these days regardless of security issues anyway ... so it 
should be seeamless to the average recipient.

Email was never designed to handle html properly, if at all in some cases.

I realise it's sub-optimal from a purist, technical and web usability point of 
view, but it may be the "politically correct" best path (unless your intended 
market audience is techies or web pros ;-). pdf will at least let your 
designer have her own way ...
