Mail doesn't benefit from even the kind of HTML you describe. Mail should be focused to the point there shouldn't be any need for any structure. Mails should be super-fast to read *and* write! If there is need for structure and extras the whole thing should be put into a document - this could be HTML or LaTeX or whatever - and this should be published persistently - and the mail should instead say "here is the material you need - use it!" -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
