"Simple" HTML, is purely defined as whatever HTML doesn't trigger us to use the IE control to render a message, and that changes in different versions as we add more support. From what I remember of the code, tables and remote images are considered complex HTML. I don't remember if there's anything else. AppleScript's styled text flavor has more to do with the TEXT/STYL resource format that SimpleText uses than anything else. It just means that style is associated with the text.
