Bug Description

It would be nice if bzr-email and launchpad itself included highlighted diffs in mail body, as in the attached screenshot. For bzr-email it would need to implement HTML emails (bug 399392).

The emails from Launchpad will shortly have the diffs attached rather than inline. Personally my email client already syntax hilights diff attachments.

Same here.

Please, please, even if you make HTML mails in the future, make
it an opt-in behavior, HTML is *not* supported by all mail
clients and is a pain for scripting.
