If I send an e-mail in HTML format, are all e-mail clients able to read it,
or will some display the HTML itself?

Thanks Hugh
 
Not all clients and/or providers support HTML mail. In many cases it will
get converted to Plain Text correctly though. If you need to make sure the
messages arrives correctly you must send it in Plain Text.

When sending HTML e-mail, there should be 2 sections using MIME. One
will be for HTML. The other is for the plain-text version. If the
e-mail client is configured to read only plain-text, it will display the
plain-text version. If the e-mail client has no concept of HTML or
MIME, they will see both parts so they can still read the plain-text
version followed by the HTML version (which is all text anyway but will
have all the HTML tags).
