How do I create and send HTML e-mails from my Pocket PC?

I've been asked an interesting question over at Pocket PC Thoughts about whether it's possible to send HTML e-mail from Pocket PC's.

The answer is yes, if you use Qmail and enable the overly useful Header Edit mode while writing/ forwarding/ replying a mail. Then, all you will need is adding the

content-type: text/html

header to the header section. After that, you can use any HTML layout, as, for example, in the following screenshot:

The receiver mailer client, if it's HTML-capable, will render it as HTML:

Other mailer clients are unable to do the same because they all lack the Header Edit mode.

See this article for more generic information on Qmail and the alternative E-mailer clients for the Pocket PC if interested.
