While it is great that it works for you and you've had success, Karl, I don't really recommend using anything other than tables. At least not until you are proficient in using tables (for email) and getting consistent results with them. I cannot find anything recent regarding html emails without tables after googling a bit. I recommend going through the lynda.com tut as you said and getting good at the basics, at least, before straying.
HTML email is tricky and full of gotchas. Testing is the key. Lots of it. Use the services I recommended earlier to help with this. Good luck.
