The folks at Campaign Monitor recently posted 30 free HTML e-mail newsletter templates on their web site. These newsletter templates, while generic from a branding perspective, have been tested in a variety of common e-mail programs (and web-based e-mail apps like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail) so you can rest assured that your e-mail newsletter will render properly and consistently.
Because you’ll also want to include a text-only version when you send out your e-mail newsletter, Campaign Monitor has also provided three well-formatted text-only newsletter templates.

Rick,
I keep reading through your blog and I’m finding more interesting tidbits. We don’t use services like Campaign Monitor because of the extreme expense. We run 3 e-commerce sites and send out 3-6 mass emails a week. At 180,000 recipients per campaign, you can see how the costs would get out of hand. Do you know of any other solutions that would spread the cost out over a longer term but guarantee the same quality of delivery?

Bill,
You may want to check out a vendor that handles larger lists. CheetahMail is one that comes to mind.
