Indeed. A basic HTML subset (websafe fonts, bold, italic, off-site images,
links, etc) should be part of the basic email composing default. Yes, like
Apple mail, it should allow you to set a default and a per-message setting.
It should, also, allow you a per-account setting. Many users would choose
plain text as a default, but I'm sure *many* of us would be grateful to have
the option of *at least* bold and italics.

IMO, of course.

Oh, and when receiving HTML, it'd be nice to be able to override everything
but font-size, bold and italic.
