Sending HTML formatted email is considered being rude by most folks, and is generally discouraged. Its a dead giveaway that
one is a windoze user (and nobody wants to admit to that, do they? ;) ).
Most mailing lists (especially developer forums) explicitly forbid the use of HTML formatted messages because of the large
number of people who don't (or won't) use GUI-based mail readers.
However if you must, most browsers and email progs usually have a check-box in their message 'settings' or config menu that
allows the user to choose between HTML and 'normal' email formats.
Just be aware that many in the *nix world simply delete HTML formatted emails without reading them...
