Mail.app uses text/enriched, just like NeXTMail did (see RFC 1896). Text/enriched predated HTML, and Mail.app is the only modern client I know that generates it. Entourage has a rudimentary text/enriched->text/html converter which can handle things like <italic>, but doesn't handle more complex text/enriched tags that user <param>. This stuff is separate from WASTE, which we use as our text engine. We use a modified WASTE 1.3, BTW.
