Solution 1

You can't. If you use a MAILTO link you are limited to only plain text in the subject and body elements.

The other problem is that a web page cannot launch the users default email handler in all browsers without a MAILTO tag. There is no standard method of doing this outside of that tag and any method you find on the web will not be supported by most browsers.

Blame the spammers and virus-writing idiots for this.

Any other suggestion to send html in email.

From the client workstation? You don't have any options.

Any HTML formatter email will have to be sent from web server itself. You cannot do it consistently across browsers and email clients on the client side.
