  This is the level of HTML-Support I would like to have in PMMail - do not 
follow any links (href= or img= ); for those who want to see this -- select 
the "view in Browser" menu item. 

  Also, for most HTML-messages, they are of 
     "Content-Type: multipart/alternate", 
  and the handling of alternate body parts is not treated well in PMMail. 
PMMail treats everything which is not the first bodypart as an attachment, but 
quite often it is not an attachment, but an alternate form of one and the same 
content, it might also be a different translation of the actual message (one 
alternate part being in English, another one being in French, Spanish or 
Catalan...). 

   To enable the choice between the alternate HTML and plain text versions of 
a message in a multipart/alternate, PMMail should solve the general problem of 
offering a choice for such alternate parts.
