If you copy the entire contents of a web page in OmniWeb and paste it
into an email, it will appear as a PDF rendering of the page (or
sometimes a set of PDFs) as it appears in the browser. I think it
might use CSS instructions and/or tables to define it. And of course
thanks to Quartz, Mail will display these PDFs inline in your email.
Other browsers will usually show these as attachments.
[demime 0.98b removed an attachment of type application/pdf which had a name of Table.pdf]
