styling from someone unstylish

Hi all.
I use Outlook 2002. I'm trying to do a couple of things to my outgoing
messages:

1) Use a background image that has a left margin as stationery (akin to the
stationery "Tech Tools"), so my message needs about a 70 pixel left margin,
which I copied from the Tech Tools html stationery:

<html>
<head>
<style>
<!--
body
{
font-family: "Arial", "sans serif";
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 10pt;
color: black;
margin-left: 70px;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body background="(image address)" bgcolor="#ffffff">
</body>
</html>

2) Add a signature using some simple HTML (image and email link and such)
(the html file that is appended to the file:)

<font face="arial, verdana" size="2" color="000000">
<p>my name<br>
<a href="my email address">my email address</a>
<p><a href="a link"><img src="an image" border="0" alt="alt name"></a><br>
Address 1<br>
Address 2<br>
Phone<br>
Fax</p>

3) Add a "text-css" text rollover script to the stationery, such as:

<style type="text/css">
a:link { color: black; text-decoration: none }
a:active { color: green; text-decoration: none }
a:visited { color: black; text-decoration: none }
a:hover { color: red; text-decoration: underline }
</style>

Sorry for all that code. I am OK at html, but dealing with styles is new.
My questions are these:

When I use the signature file, the message text is indented twice, whereas
the signature is indented once. Regardless of how many pixels I specify in
the first bit of code, the message is always double-indented from the
signature.

It seems to ignore the text rollover script. There is no hint of it in the
message when I send it and look at the source. Anything anyone can do to
help with this taxing problem will be much appreciated.
