Creating HTML emails with mutt

Sorry, I'm coming into this late.

Too bad -- that would be conceptually clean, to generate 
multipart/alternative as part of composition.

Mutt runs an external text editor to compose plain text; it could do the 
same for this -- run some external composition program that would return 
both HTML and plain text. That external program could be anything, could 
be user's choice. It could be a GUI HTML editor that generates HTML and 
plain text in parallel from what the user does. It could be a shell 
script, that runs a text editor where the user types Markdown, and then 
converts that to HTML and returns both.

 From there, I guess Mutt would treat that multipart/alternative the 
same as a simple body part of plain text: build a MIME tree around it, 
with attachments and GPG signature. Would that work?
