For The Record: HTML Email on the Internet; RFC 2557

[Randall R Schulz]

To Whom It May Concern,

The IETF publishes this standard for electronic mail on the Internet 
using HTML and even supports resource references in the HTML whose 
targets (images, sounds, etc.) can be incorporated into the same MIME 
message as the HTML body.

In my opinion, it's simply foolish to anchor electronic mail in the 
pre-markup, pre-media days of text-only electronic communication.

RFC 2557
"MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, such as HTML (MHTML) "

Abstract:
This document a) defines the use of a MIME multipart/related structure 
to aggregate a text/html root resource and the subsidiary resources it 
references, and b) specifies a MIME content-header 
(Content-Location)that allow URIs in a multipart/related text/html root 
body part to reference subsidiary resources in other body parts of the 
same multipart/related structure. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
