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!"
