After sitting at my computer for about 48 hours straight I finally have what I’m pretty sure is a working phplist template. 
I’ve learned a lot of things during this time one of which is that it is surprisingly difficult to create a HTML email template. This is mainly due to the fact that all the different popular email readers render HTML emails slightly differently. Some have a lot of trouble with CSS. Some by default don’t display images until the reader changes a setting. I’ve tried to take as many of these challenges into consideration as possible to make the above template.
Please note, this will only work if you have the “multiple content” phplist plugin installed.
Also note that I have not really tested this on many email programs and would love feedback on how it goes. I use Gmail so I know it looks ok there using Firefox.
One more thing, for this to work correctly you need to remove the automatic footer that phplist inserts and insert it into the template manually. Otherwise for some reason it gets a bit messed up.
The template uses no images but you can add your own of course.
To use it, download the file and go to your installation of phplist. Go to “templates” and “Add new template”. Save it and then got to “send message”. Make sure to test first.
Don’t forget to also provide a text only version of your newsletter to your readers.

No probs :-) Like I said I haven’t tested too much so please let me know if anything needs fixing.
I will let you know. A Southern jerk is a yahoo ;-)
Thank you again! RD
This template looks good. I found it while I was building my own and found some of your ideas very useful. Thanks.
I have build one using a different coding style. It is all tables, which I have found is much easier to make compatible with a wider variety of email programs. I have made both versions of my template available for download here: Email template designs
I hope they are useful to someone.

Thank you for this great sharing!
There is a setting hiding in config.php which you can change to exclude the auto-footer from the config.php file.
Thanks for the template. It is cute.
In thunderbird it is not displaying correctly.
This was a great help. It seems to display properly in Gmail, Squirrelmail, Outlook Express, and Outlook 2003. It is readable in Blackberry Mail and Outlook 2007, but needs a little work so that the columns are shown. Thank you for this contribution!
Thanks Suz,
I didn’t need all the fancy styling you did…. I just needed some code to ‘hack apart’ into my own template and to see what was needed for the styling.
Thanks for the effort you put in anyway and for publishing.
