Html markup in email blogging

I'm posting this blog post via email from my Blackberry, and I'm wondering what happens if I include html markup.

Like sure, I can attach photies to the email and they're embedded at the start of the post.

But what about bold text? Do I just sling html markup and it works?
<b>is this bold?</b>

What about italics?
<i>Is this in italic?</i>

Or blockquote? Now that would be cool? Can I just put that in by hand?
<blockquote>is this in a blockquote?</blockquote>

Let's post and see...
