I don't see how the option of 9 countries allows 'anyone' to register ;)

So low the sky is all I see
All I want from you is forgive me
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain
Though he just wants right back out again

Anyone in Australia, at least. I've tried http://www.google.com/ and the "Get Google Mail" link is not there. Sorry I can get a beautiful screen shot into the e-mail as Scott has. I still have to work out how to do that!

Use Outlook and format an HTML email. Or, just copy and paste existing HTML code (or perhaps an image) into Gmail's compose window.
 
Yeah, just tried it and it works. Please, use sparingly on this group though.

If you want to include the images as attachments and embed them you have to use outlook but if you have them hosted somewhere else you can just copy and paste them in from a web browser.

On your keyboard there is a button 'Prt Scr' for Print Screen. Click
it, and then use a paint program to crop (cut down to the focus) it.
Just use edit-paste to retrieve the screenshot. Sometimes it gets
confusing because the image looks just like a normal window, or
whatever you 'printed', but it's an image nonetheless.

and magicly gmail isn't used to send tons of spam, unlike other e-mail
services... spammers won't sign up to hundreds of cell phone accounts
to get accounts, and the only other way is an invite, which can
quickly provide a trail to close accounts if you give invites to
spammers...

yeah, when groups of people get thier gmail accounts shut down the reason is usually that someone they invited turned out to be a spammer.  Google assumes the inviter is possibly a spammer too so locks them out of thier accout to see if they get ruffled.

Yep, a real spammer wouldn't complain and bitch and call and e-mail
and fight if they really was using those accounts to farm invites for
spamming. But a legit user has very little chance of getting locked
out even if they did invite a real spammer. I'd imagine Google would
need evidence that you've invited multiple accounts that spammed, not
just one single invite.
