I know all about Outlook's crappy HTML support, and I hate it as much as 
anyone.  Part of my job is to make templates for various HTML e-mail 
newsletters that have to display well in all e-mail clients.  It sucks, but 
it's the way it is.

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that Outlook's user base is large enough 
to not ignore, and with other e-mail clients that are increasing market share - 
like Gmail - that throw away all your header styles, I think it would be well 
worth it to create a dashboard e-mail that is formatted well for all e-mail 
clients.  I love RT and really want it to be the best option out there for what 
it does, I think the dashboard subscription is an awesome feature and really 
feel that it can be fixed to work happily in all the e-mail clients.
