Has anybody successfully designed pages for email using Xara software?

I'd like to use XDP for mailshots that I send through Aweber. I currently paste raw HTML into their online HTML editor, but it's HTML I have written longhand myself.

I'm guessing that it might be a little more convoluted with Xara HTML, but might be worth it for the flexibility it brings.

I'm happy to experiment, but thought I'd ask in case anybody has already been there, done that.
