Description
Currently, the mail content rule just sends the message as plain text. This does not provide much opportunity for the author to format the email.
By creating a mime message before sending it would be possible to allow html email which could then be converted to a multipart message (and the text portion could be generated from portal_transforms).
To keep backwards compatibility, there could be a dropdown option on creating the content rule for the content type of the email, defaulting to plain text.

Done should include a backwards-compatible content-type choice, HTML support, and a multipart message with a generated text portion.
