Not sure if this would be a useful suggestion Dave, but this is very
easy to do in Thunderbird, very much like outlook to use and configure
(but better of course) ;-)
It would mean changing email clients, but you never know, you might be
able to talk "her" around to it if you explain that it will be just like
using outlook express, but in Linux.
Hope it helps, otherwise, just ignore it.

My previous advice was to look at kmail's html mail templates, but a bit
of googling reveals that a common complaint in kmail reviews is the lack
of templates. This may be because the developers are probably true geeks
who appreciate the more correct advice that email is a text....ok been
there done that.
I guess you are probably stuck with putting in the (fairly minimal) html
code for the background image with each email, and/or calling an
external editor.
Have you done as I suggested and looked at the source file of an outlook
email with a background of the sort the missus wants?

Doesn't she want to send her emails under her own name and identity?
Should be more specific she has her own email address but to logon the
computer it's one logon name - filters in place to divert messages to right
mail folder.
to all others my wife wonders why all the talk about spies and things (
i know why - ANDREW... ) but she's astonished about how the thread has
gone off topic so quickly.
Nature of the beast. Many of us are friends and enjoy the irony and banter.
i know but she just went on about a simple answer to a simple question.
Will look at OOo as an option for sending pretty emails (as some women
like to do from time to time with pretty stationary).
Create a .pdf document in a DTP app such as Scribus [1] and send it as an
attachment. Most of the world does that or something like it.
this is a woman who (i must say i've gotten used to linux but gets annoyed at
learning new computer things (i mean changing the folders in Kmail and she's
ready to bite spit and kick so to speak).
