Alas, no. Mail can display it, but it can't compose it. If you look at 
a message with styled text sent by Mail, the header contains

Content-Type: text/enriched;

A true html mail message will have this in its headers

Content-Type: text/html;

As far as I know, Mail has no facility for embedding true hyperlinks, 
or sending true html mail. On the very rare occasions when I want to 
sent html mail, I use Mozilla.
