Even if you think you need HTML for mail it should be limited to enable nicer formatting of your text (tables, indentations etc.) but you shouldn't try to prove web designer skills. At the end e-mail is a medium that primarily transports information, not style or colored pictures, at least in a professional environment (and that's what we are talking about). For things like that the TBird HTML editor is more than appropriate and it is not only much faster but also better integrated than OOo Writer could ever be. It also has built-in features especially for mails like managing quotes etc. that you won't see in OOo Writer. > that type of integration would be what some people are looking for.

What makes more sense is having links to mails, postings, calendar appointments, contact information etc. in OOo documents. Links from TBird to OOo documents already work of course. I can imagine that there are other useful ways to integrate a mail or calendar client with an Office suite, but using the word processor for writing mails is the least interesting (of course only IMHO ;-)).
