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?
