Help With Designing HTML emails

I do want to go into more detail about designing HTML emails in the near future but came across a couple of awesome resources that I just wnated to get up right away.

Emailology is a website that guides designers and developers to use good cross-client compatibility code. It is very well-commented, includes hacks and gets you off the ground quickly. There are also tips and tricks categorized for each e-mail client.

This is going to save me and other designers a ton of time in testing.

Fractal is a web application (beta) for validating HTML-CSS code across 24 most-popular e-mail clients. It not only tells you what is wrong with your code, it also suggests fixes too. It works by pasting the code into the application and running the validator.

Two new resources in the battle for HTML email design. Anyone else try these or are there even better ones out there? Let me know.
