Email problems.

I have generated a page on our server using PHP (from within a CMS system) which I renamed the output .html to use in an html email. My problem is when I cut and paste the HTML into the email (Outlook) it either: displays the code, displays the html email and then when it's sent, sends it as an attachment or sends it as a bunch of html links and badly formatted text. I assumed (badly) that Outlook would simply send HTML emails if you formatted the program to send html emails but this seems almost impossible. Anyone have any suggestions? This is the page I want to send: http://www.violasystems.com/e-news/template.html
