But full HTML isn't needed for that. If we had a very restricted subset, our lives could be a lot easier. The problem then becomes how to get agreement on a suitable markup language and get it implemented in clients.
There is a simple markup language that can provide basic formatting: text/richtext. <http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_1_Text.html> This goes beyond just including images, but let's face it, people are used to things like bold, italic, and underline, and asterisks and underscores are less readable than the real thing.
I know Eudora will send it, and I know Thunderbird will read it. I'm not sure how widely it's supported in other clients, though.
