Your only option for this which would have widespread support would
be HTML.  It is *possible* to generate such messages and send them
with Mutt.  It's just not very easy or user-friendly.

Not all that long ago I posted in a thread about how I lamented the
lack of native support for HTML mail, though I think that would just
about require that Mutt be given a GUI interface to be maximally
effective (which I also would like, so long as the text-based
interface remained).  However, in that thread several people posted
about how they handle composing HTML messages.  You might search the
archives for that.
