Heavens, yes!  There is a package that's a much better alternative in MANY
ways: QuickMail, from CE Software.  Even despite Microsoft's new version, I
feel that QuickMail is the better, more consistent, more useful product... and
it's getting even better with THEIR new version later this year.

On the current question: QuickMail's included form editing utility lets you
generate QuickMail forms, which a friend of mine equates to different kinds of
letterhead, with lots of graphical elements.  You can have multiple text
fields, checkboxes, display text... and yes, pictures.  You can import sections
of a MacPaint document, or grab icons from your favorite programs.  And yes,
some users even put pictures of themselves on their forms. :-)  You can choose
what form to use separately for each message you send, so there's never any
need to get bored with your mail.

If you'd like more information about QuickMail or what it can do (I'm using it
to send this message, for example), let me know; I'll be happy to oblige.
