……..This is a very late answer to your question, but I have had the same problem for months, and it was only recently solved by

Expert-Exchange forum: http://www.experts-exchange.com, Applications, MS Office topic area. Question Title: Email.dot template for Outlook XP

The problem is a "bug" or a MS "joke" in the "blank" stationery choic
using Word as the email editor

So, either choose another stationery, OR none (which does not give yo
all the html features,) OR go to Outlook Express and choose the blank stationery there. The Outlook Express blank stationery will show up in your choices in Regular Outlook. Outlook Express blank stationery does not have the bug (joke) format of double spacing, Helvetica, and Ivory colored font, and works fine in Regular Outlook using Word as email editor

A very quick test to show this bug (joke)

Go to Tools, Options, Mail Format. Choose HTML, Word as Editor, Blank Stationery from the drop down list, and click on the Font button

In the box titled "Stationery Fonts" choose the first bullet of this list "use the font specified in stationery" Save all your choices

Now, try to create a new mail message. The text of your message will be Helvetica, Ivory and double spaced

Maybe this was the design that MS wanted for blank !! A message no-one can read -- A Microsoft joke on all of us..
