Verbatim-like environments are always tricky, because they do not obey
the rules/style of normal LaTeX syntax for their content.

However, a definition such as:
\newenvironment{myspecialenv}
 {\textbf{This is mine}
  \begin{verbatim}
 }
 {\end{verbatim}
}

should work with LaTeX2HTML, even if it doesn't work with LaTeX
itself. Thus you can use conditional coding to vary the definition
according to the processing-engine:

\usepackage{html}
\begin{htmlonly}
\newenvironment{myspecialenv}
 {\textbf{This is mine}
  \begin{verbatim}
 }
 {\end{verbatim}
}
\end{htmlonly}
%begin{latexonly}
\newenvironment{myspecialenv}
 {\textbf{This is mine}\verbatim}
 {\endverbatim}
%end{latexonly}

Try the above.
Tell me if it doesn't work for you, and then provide an example
for me to test, and debug if necessary.
