how to send out mass newsletter html emails correctly?

Hi,

I'm trying to create a newsletter that sends out html emails to people, but I have trouble getting it right with the different email clients out there.
I've been looking at newsletters that I receive and they differ in terms of how they do it.
Some include the whole <html>...</html> in the body of the message, others only use the <body></body> and yet others only use the actual html-markup.
I have tried different approaches and while in hotmail, gmail and outlook 2007, I can see the email fine, in yahoo mail the body doesn't show at all.
So I'm wondering what the standard way of doing this is, and if there are special headers I should set as well.
