I've worked with Outlook and other Office apps before and I find that VB.Net is the easiest language to use when coding for MS Office (mostly because of its oh-so-forgiving nature in allowing direct calls to the Office interop functions instead of using PInvoke and also not having to pass Missing as parameter value in VB).
However, VB.Net and C# are quite interchangeable you shouldn't have any difficulties in switching between the two.

To create a template you need to have an OFT file (google how to create it if you don't know how, it's pretty simple) and publish it to the client's PC (or a shared folder).
The easiest way I can think of is for you to store a running number as an xml file in the client's PC (or a database if necessary) and increment it after each use (i.e. sending an e-mail).
If you're also using Exchange Server you might be able to store the data in Exchange (e.g. bind the value to the particulare e-mail address).
