Russ,
If you are using Outlook, it is just a matter of setting up the client to
use HTML for 'sending'.
The general consensus of the members of this list is that using HTML to a
list, is not a 'good' thing.
My personal opinion is that it eats bandwidth, providing little extra
functionality. A HTML formatted email will be at least 2 times as big as
plain text, and maybe up to 10-15 times larger, when lots of html features
are included. A simple plain text email with a few sentences will be a few
hundred bytes and the same in HTML will likely be 1k or more. Now that is
not a big deal, but multiply by the number of emails through your server
each day and well, you get the picture.
