I am surprised that no one has answered your question, if
only to scold you about how evil HTML emails are -- with
which I generally agree, but sometimes they can be useful.

I don't know if there is a native way in gnus to do it, but
the Emacs Muse package (at least version 3.12 -- the one I
have) has a handy function called `muse-message-markup. If
you are in a mail buffer you write your Email as normal text
but with the simple Muse markup syntax and then M-x
muse-message-markup RET and the message is reformatted as an
HTML email. Then just send it.

Dunno if that's helpful, but I figure it beats being
ignored.

thank you very much.I am just using an not that simple
method.powered by MIME lib,we can include html codes like
this:

I wrote my article in muse,and compile it to html,
and then load those above and then C-x i insert the
html file generated by muse,and then send it to
***@blogger.com. And that allows me to enjoy the convinent
and power of muse and can also easy update my blog.
Your reply is really helpful,I appriciate it very much.

HTML in email is a very good thing.

From the technology point of view, it is far more powerful. For
example, it can contain links, bold text, coloring, embedded images,
etc. The bulkier than plain text in size, of course, but in today's
youtube days, this doesn't matter. Also not, if my 10 years old email
transmission protocol knowledge is not outdated, then email is still
sent by first converting to a ascii encoding. This is invented by the
unix folks, which is extremely inefficient.

From the social point of view, HTMl is also far more useful, and
people wants the ability to have colored text, embed images, etc. I
don't have stats on this, but it is my guess that 80%%, or perhaps even
90%% of email traffics today, are in html. Human animals, collectively,
want it.

That is utter CRAP, if you think that a message, dolled-up more
than a cathouse on X-mas'eve has more information than the same text
in ascii, you really ought to learn to read.

well, HTML is technically superior simply because it can do a lot more
things.

In the mid 1990s, a lot tech geeker seriously think that the web
should remain in plain text or

. They say exactly what you are

saying now. If you do research on newsgroup archive, i bet you can

still dig up lots of such arguments.

I think html is too complex for email.We do need some tags language which
enable us to give our mail a nice look.But html is a bad design.Because it
mix the perfomance and the meaning,I think XHTML+css is a better choice,
but we need a simplifed version of it.Something like MUSE or LATEX,if our
clients perform defferent with the same codes,even the worst situation,
we know
#title somethin
is title
or
\title{something}
is title

with no limit of network,i think more powerful ways to express ourself is
worthy of try.

i am sorry my english is very poor ...

I am not sure this reasoning follows very well. Certainly
the ability to do many things is nice, but they have to be
the right things. One functionality that HTML lacks is the
ability to be a simple, portable plain ascii message, which
sounds like I am being circular, but really, for most
people, that is the single most important feature of email.
