Gregory Marx may want to read html messages in native format in 
PMMail.  I simply want PMMail not to go beserk, forcing me to 
reboot, when some "asshole" spam person with an AOL address sends 
me an html formatted message.  I enjoy the preview option, which 
is ascii text only.  I do not enjoy when the "marker" hits an AOL 
message that causes PMMail to stay active, but minimized and 
withdrawn into itself to where I cannot kill the task without 
rebooting.

As to the lack of improvements in the OS/2 version, assuming that 
in IBM terms it has been stabilized<g>, the issue is one of cost 
versus value.  The answer lies in reducing BSW's cost in 
maintaining (and supporting) the OS/2 product to near zero, which 
means having the using community absorb it.  In that way its value 
(to BSW) actually increases and the OS/2 community can 
differentiate itself from Windows.  This requires cooperation and 
(legally protected) trust between BSW and its OS/2 users.  It, 
however, allows a win-win situation: BSW makes a profit;we get our 
improvements.
