Mozzilla will let you pasted source code into it's email. Tiger is supposed to handle html composing in Mail (supposedly).

Ok, I know we had addressed this issue over and over, regarding best way to send EMail from within a program. One can use Mailto URL, Applescript to Mail, internal Mail API, or other 3rd Party Mail SDKs. However, I never heard what would be the best method to send Email that contains HTML (specifically Tags for links & text styles).
Don't.
HTML mail is generally considered harmful.
Mail.app - I don't know about other programs - will automatically interpret any string that looks like a URI as one (example: http://foo.bar.baz/), so you don't need to do anything special for that.
Text styles? Well, you can do those without HTML as well - try sending a message with bold text like this, for example, and read the source of the resulting message.
Can the Mail program send HTML at all? I know it can receive HTML, but never seen example of it sending?
It will send HTML if you force it to. However, it generally tries to do the Right Thing and uses any alternative available.
