Answer 1

Have a look at the cookbook in setting up the layouts.

http://book.cakephp.org/view/1287/Setting-up-the-Layouts

Basically you need to set up the HTML views and then use them instead of just sending a text mail

There is also a tutorial on how to do this : http://lecterror.com/articles/view/using-emailcomponent-in-cakephp-1-2

Also, consider upgrading your CakePHP version.
