I don't understand why this is a problem, though- if a receiver had the 
fonts installed they could get the "benefit" of the fonts you used, and 
if not they'd have the standard message in a default font.

not that I'm hip enough to care, but my graphic designer housemates make 
use of every formatting tool they can find.

a related example would be mozilla sending HTML-mail- half the people I 
work with use non-HTML-enabled mailreaders, but that feature is still 
available in Moz...

I think it's fine not to have this feature, but the justification for 
the lack of the feature is not a good one.  and obviously it's missed by 
some folks.
