I'd still suggest that you don't use HTML in email: email is email and 
HTML is HyperText Markup Language. An email is not a crossreferencable 
hypertext, that is, a web of document entities that have some higher 
logical relation to each other.

In addition, not everyone uses Windows and not necessarily can access
email clients that handle HTML extensions (or choose not to, for
reasons of his/her discretion).

Sending HTML is not different from sending any other non-ASCII format, 
say a Word document or RTF or Postscript or whichever format you
choose. Since there is no RFC standard which would guarantee that an
email client have to understand any of these, it is best to avoid them.
It is a courtesy to others and it is also part of the Netiquette.

Alternatively, use an email client which can build a database of your
possible addressees and use the format that they can handle, that is,
which will send HTML to my_buddy@leading.edge.email.readers and
will encode everything to Chinese charset to lee.chu@somewhere.in.china 
and sends just strait ASCII to the rest@of.us and, most importantly,
to any@mailing.list

Just my humble oppinion,
