Not so.  PMMail has its own internal (and extremely limited) HTML renderer.  It 
understands a very, very small subset of HTML tags, and renders those half-
heartedly.  It does not speak HTTP at all, so it will not, for example, follow 
IMG links to fetch images.

This is either a Good Thing or a Bad Thing, depending on your religion.
