Come on Larry !!!

Think about it ... SS is going to be selling a NEW OS/2 based operating system called eCS ... For every new sale of eCS into the corporate world, 
and to the individual user there's a potential new customer for other OS/2 software ... and IMO PMMail2000 is the best emailer out there for 
OS/2 users ...

And guess what ??? Those new users will expect at least a semblance of HTML support in their email package ...

Besides, knowing how creative Peter is in developing software (just look at PMView for an example) I'm sure he'll make the choice for HTML 
mail an option which can be turned on/off ...

Also, if we want PMMail to have parity with it's Windows sibling we are going to have to accept that features might be added that we really 
don't need or want ... and personally I like the HTML support in the windows version of PMMail ...

Let's rally around what Blueprint Software is trying to do rather than being devisive and selfish !!!

I really don't mean this to sound harsh ... so please don't be offended ...
