embedding web stuff in mail messages

i know the new apple mail allows you to have css "stationary" messages, but is there a way to allow it to do html/css embed statements?

for instance - let's say i want to send a friend a youTube video in the message. the quick and easy way is to do ⌘-i in the safari web browser on the page, and it creates mail message of the page with the youTube video embedded. however, a whole lot of needless stuff surrounds the video that was on the page also, that is hard with the formatting to go around and delete, column by column.

youTube and other sites provide embed statements for html web pages and blogs (wordpress, etc.) to incorporate just the video player for that particulary video itself, like this —

+<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lcB8CKa73B0&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lcB8CKa73B0&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>+

or if i wanted to embed a google map, like this —

+<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;time=&amp;date= &amp;ttype=&amp;q=apple computer,cupertino&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;cd=1&amp;ll=37.34198,-122.02652&amp;spn=0.008104,0.013 711&amp;t=h&amp;z=14&amp;iwloc=A&amp;om=1&amp;cid=37331739,-122030750,7542418564 039429605&amp;output=embed&amp;s=AARTsJoonZJzxRjVyYHZlcRNyyoN3Tsgig"></iframe>

so my question is - can this be embedded in a mail message? any help would be appreciated.

didn't expect the question just to be outright ignored. just want to know if it is possible to put html/css embed tags in the new apple mail, and if so, how do you do it?


Apparently no other user yet knows whether or how it can be done. If you can locate the source of the stationery templates used by Mail, you might be able to dump your code into them and then use the template for sending a message.

Here is something on making customized stationery:
