A few minutes after reading Lee's message below, I stumbled onto this
passage in Mail Help (v1.3.3) > What's New in Mail?

Robust HTML rendering

Mail uses Safari's powerful HTML rendering engine to display messages in
HTML format, so you see even sophisticated HTML formatting correctly in the
message window. Also, your HTML email can be fully interactive.

That sounds to me like Mail could send real HTML mail, so I went one step
further and searched Mail Help for HTML. No dice. It can display HTML
messages you receive (or not, if you value your privacy), but there is not
one word about composing or sending.

Hmm. Am I missing some subtle shading in technical definitions? Does the
statement, "Your HTML email can be fully interactive" clearly differentiate
between mail you receive and mail you send?
