Most graphical [[e-mail client]]s support HTML email, and many default to it.<ref>[http://www.expita.com/nomime.html#programs Configuring Mail Clients to Send Plain ASCII Text] — E-mail client programs</ref> Many of these clients include both a [[GUI]] editor for composing HTML e-mails and a rendering engine for displaying received HTML e-mails.
HTML mail allows the sender to properly express headings, bulleted lists, emphasized text, [[subscript]]s and [[superscript]]s, and other visual and [[typographic]] cues to improve the readability and aesthetics of the message. It allows in-line inclusion of diagrams or mathematical formula as images, which are otherwise difficult to convey (typically using [[ASCII art]]).
▲* The sender can express complex formatting, such as [[subscript]]s and [[superscript]]s, in scientific or [[mathematical formula]]s. Note that [[Unicode]] supports many such complex characters; however, font support issues with Unicode limit the usefulness of this possibility.
