Usually you can write that into an HTML file, render it, and copy the email from the browser into Gmail's compose pane. |

Google does not support this feature: (Source)
However, it might be possible with an external 3 party application such as Outlook or ThunderBird. Outlook 2003 or earlier had option to send HTML via File > Send > Page by Email. However, Microsoft have removed this feature for security reasons in Outlook 2007 and 2010. Here is an article that explains Microsoft's actions. There is a 'grass-roots effort' to get this feature added back Outlook. For more information about his movement visit FixOutlook.org. |

I think you should use a client that lets you write HTML email and set it up to use your gmail account. I don't think you can do it from Gmail's web interface.

Body is not an acceptable tag in gmail, and most email clients disregard backgrounds unless they're in divs. There's a great resource on the subject of what email clients support and don't support called the Email Standards Project. As for entering html in gmail, you're going to have to do the copy paste thing that digitxp said, but don't include the html, head or body tags, just the content tags. |
