i felt sorry about that this posting was dropped completely undiscussed - it seems to me, it solves the problem quite well:

>The correct behaviour is quite simple:

>  PMMail should display the email with no changes whatsoever besides
>  the character set. Embedded HTML is displayed as text.
>
>- If there is a mime mail header PMMail, depending on a configurable setting,
>  display the text/plain or the text/html part (if there is one).

or, in ugly pseudocode (slightly modified):

if (headerpresent)
{
  if (enableDisplayOfHTMLMails && (mime == text/html))
    displayAsRenderedHTML()
  else
  {
    if (enableHTMLTagInterpreter)
      displayAsRenderedHTML()
    else
      displayAsPlainText()
  }
}
else
{
  if (enableHTMLTagInterpreter)
    displayAsRenderedHTML()
  else
    displayAsPlainText()
}

so you can switch:
- enableDisplayOfHTMLMails: if mime is text/html display as HTML, otherwise look for default behaviour:
- enableHTMLTagInterpreter: mime is not text/html or !enableDisplayOfHTMLMails; so if true: render anyway or false: display as pure plain text
