  Would you mean like the enchanced-text/rich text mode? I guess there
  is nothing stopping RitLabs from creating such a feature, it'd
  probably require a little work into RTF, but they aren't that
  difficult. Plus there are a number of mail readers that support it
  to. I'd be semi-interested to see if they'd implement it, as I might
  use it at work sometimes for code exchange and such, but not much
  for personal use.

  There has been rumours that HTML will be supported in version 2
  though, so RTF might just be pointless as HTML is probably supported
  in a lot more clients than RTF.
