Sending email in gnus uses the message mode which is text only. However, there are some functions out there for creating HTML versions of your emails, which is what I think you are asking for. The one I use (very infrequently but when I need to send a table of data mostly) is org-mime-htmlize which uses org layout for the formatting. It is a contributed package for org so it may or may not be part of your emacs. You can find out more about org at http://orgmode.org/ Of course, you should ask yourself why you need to use layout and fonts enhancement... it's seldom necessary, in my opinion.

I have had the same experience. I'm in an organisation that uses Outlook throughout and I've yet to have anybody complain that my emails are somehow not correct. I have had the odd person remark on my not top-posting but this has nothing to do with HTML.
