html email is simply an html page sent as a regular email. your part as a designer is simply to create a simple html page. the person operating the mailing list will send that html page as an email. the only thing you have to take care of is that all the images should be referenced in the html file with their absolute path, not like on web sites where mostly we use relative path.
so for example instead of an image being referenced as:
<img src="/images/header.jpg">
you should give the absolute path as:
<img src="http://yourdomain.com/images/header.jpg">
you should mainly use standard html elements, such as <h1>, <a>, etc and avoid creating new classes.
you should embed the CSS into the emailer instead of linking to it and should check how your emailer looks if the images won't download in case the reader doesn't have internet connection when opening the mail.
there are many other tricks that can make your emailer look good and work good on different email applications. search for "html emailer tutorial" on google.
once you're done, link to it, so we can check for any potential problems if you like.
Thanks man!... ASAP i link it...... :P
