Of course it is possible, but why put the load on a maybe already busy mail server? The human brain has more power than a FreeBSD server (I at least hope that's the case :-), so why let the com- puter deal with it? It's easy to learn that one shouldn't mix HTML in mails. It's also quite easy to configure your mail client to not send HTML at all, but plain text.
