Hi Ariane,
The color2D.matplot function can almost do this, as there is an option 
to display the numeric values within the cells. Now with the small 
kludge of adding an extra argument:

x3=NULL

and changing the following lines:

    if(show.values)
     text(sort(rep((1:xdim[2])-0.5,xdim[1])),
      rep(seq(xdim[1]-0.5,0,by=-1),xdim[2]),
      round(x,show.values),col=vcol,cex=vcex)
   }

to this:

    if(show.values)
     if(is.null(x3)) xval<-x
     else xval<-x3
     text(sort(rep((1:xdim[2])-0.5,xdim[1])),
      rep(seq(xdim[1]-0.5,0,by=-1),xdim[2]),
      round(xval,show.values),col=vcol,cex=vcex)
   }

You may have a solution to your plotting problem.

Of course this will do nothing at all for your problem of sending HTML 
formatted messages.
