My opinion here, but I sure hope not. I have enough Favorites I need to 
weed through and organize,  with many added by the browser and my company, 
that I don't want to get an html email, possibly asked or, and probably 
unsolicited, and find it has placed a link into my Favorites without my 
permission.

That's my opinion.
