[MlMt] Embedding HTML should work? How?

[Eric Sharakan]

I don't remember anything about direct embedding of html into a MailMate 
message to achieve that

Here's how I did note to do it when that thread was making the rounds:

```
[![Watch the 
video](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Mandel_zoom_00_mandelbrot_set.jpg/320px-Mandel_zoom_00_mandelbrot_set.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFftmWSzgmk)
```

MailMate's markup engine will convert that (when unquoted of course) 
into a thumbnail with an embedded link to a video.
