Are you trying to create a mail form that can be sent and received and look
like what you designed? A Form Region would require registration of that
form region on every recipient's computer, preserving the data across the
Internet and various other things that require RTF and custom forms, and it
won't end up working right anyway the vast majority of the time.
See the information on sending custom forms over the Internet on
www.outlookcode.com. What you want to do would be even more unlikely to
work. And every recipient would have to use Outlook 2007 or later too.
I'd rethink your project, in my experience it just won't work in practice.
