No. Evil enough people really want to surrender to this horrible HTML in mail 
bodies - IMO this kind of stuff belongs nowhere else than in attachments. eMail 
is a text based medium; no-one expects a snail mail parcel to pop up a 16:9 
screen showing a movie but accepts the DVD (which can be used by an external 
application) being delivered as an attachment ;) ...

So please don't support this even allowing to write HTML messages!
