What I would like to do is use a document created with OO as

This is not really an OO issue,
Really?
it's an email client issue that
requires using an email client capable of importing an rich text or
more likely, an html message - them embed it in the body of the
message sent.
Didn't see the word 'import' anywhere in his request. Quite the contrary.
It would require that OO.o interoperate closely with an email client
which supports rich text messages.
I found out that when I send an e-mail from OO it gets sent
as attachment, this is not what I want.

I'm sometimes using Linux with Thunderbird, but am sometimes
forced to use WIndows with Outlook.
Both Firefox and Thunderbird are also available for Windows and so
is Seamonkey,...
True enough, but if he currently uses Windows / Word / Outlook to
achieve what he wants now then a switch to TB ( et al ) would simply
relegate his Windows environment to the same state of not meeting his
requirements as the Linux environment.
But that brings us back to the email client used for emailing the
html page, whether it was made by OO, Seamonkey's Composer, or any
other html editor.
Not really - that brings us back to a question of tools cooperating
together to produce a desired result.

Perhaps the simplest solution is to use copy/paste .
Doesn't really work all that well unfortunately - it does bring over
some formatting information however.
The fact is both OO.o and Thunderbird ( and most other clients ) already
support all the functionality needed to do this - less one crucial piece
- neither side knows how to work intimately with the other - for one to
to call on the services of the other in other words.
@Douglas - The bottom line in regards to your question then is - NO, you
can't do that with OO.o no matter which email client you use.
