Brad,
  I've no doubt that HTML may have a lot to offer for folks who use HTML-aware
email clients, but assuming that here would be unwise.  HTML is wonderful for
the web, but as far as I'm concerned, it should be kept out of email
(particularly when it simply repeats what was just said plaintext! :-).
