PMMail has some serious issues with HTML
1) In messages sent as multipart/alternative, PMMail displays the HTML
component, providing no means of selecting the text component instead (which
many many users would prefer to be the only view they see).
2) In messages sent as text/plain, PMMail sniffs the content and switches to
HTML rendering if the mail body contains a < H T M L > (spaces added to avoid 
problem) tag. This is also and RFC violation, and for people like me who participate
in a number of ML's where people wish to post HTML code samples for discussion, it
is a major nuisance.
