Finally, I could find the solution to my first question. It is in fact very esay.
Here is my receipe: Assuming that the content of the text field is in your local variable my_text_field_content, simply put this in the 'message' variable of the MAIL() function from gluon.tools: message = (my_text_field_content, '<html>' + my_text_field_content + '</html>') All the other variables must of course been filled in as usual.
