The following steps do what you want:
a) select "open (received HTML message) in web browser".
b) in your browser save page as WEB ARCHIVE to your desktop
c) in PM select the HTML message and select FORWARD
d) ensure the forward message is set to plain text, now delete
everything except possibly the header info part, i.e. date and subject
under "begin forwarded message", if you think this is important, else
hit select-all and then delete.
e) add text to gusto.
f) drag the saved out web archive onto the forward message, which is now
an attachment.
g) send.
People will receive a perfect html page with all links and images.

hehe... but REMEMBER...e) is optional, so it's not 7 but only 6 and a) I
myself anyhow always do so it's down to 5 and c) and g) have to be done
in the first place if it's a forward, so in the end it's down to only 3
little "via" steps... not THAT icky compared to all the save email one
can download...
