Put <#part type=text/html> at the top of your message and then type
ahead.

If you want WYSIWYG, I'm not so sure.  Emacs has support for editing
enriched text (i.e., see $emacssrc/etc/enriched.doc), converting that
into HTML shouldn't be too hard, and seems to be on the todo list for
enriched.el.  There was a package that generated HTML based on
font-lock markup, perhaps using it in a enriched text buffer works.

What a silly idea ! I hope you won't do this.

Do you remember the netiquette ?

It works! thank you.  Where to find the manual about the <#part> tag?
I like to study all of it's properties, for example, I may want to
specify a charset, a tranfer encoding method, etc.

I found the enrich-mode is very hard to use :-(

There is no time like the present for postponing what you ought to be

It is on the Emacs MIME manual, the section "Composing" should 
discuss all those things (if not, please send a bug report).

I agree.  Mostly because it lacks a toolbar with markup commands, 
like most WYSIWYG editors do.
