What we really need is an html and/or enriched-text minor mode.  Or just
have message-mode smart enough to use 'htmlify.el' if it detects text
properties other than MML ones after mail-header-separator.

You would of course want this configurable, similar to how netscape lets
you do it:

1. Always send only HTML email
2. Never send HTML email
3. Always send HTML with text/plain alternative
4. Ask the user
