I would have no problem whatsoever if PMMail/2 were able to display
HTML messages without opening up my browser.  I use both the OS/2 and
Windows versions and it is very convenient to be able to view HTML
messages in the preview window in PMMail 2k.  Personally, I'm not
interested in the ability to send HTML emails, but since I receive them
all the time, easily viewing them with PMMail/2 would be great. 
Regardless, the point of my question was not to start yet another
debate about the merits of HTML email, I was merely attempting to
understand the claims made on PMMail's home page.  I assume BSW
understands PMMail/2 well enough not to have written the statement
without there having been a basis for it, so I'm just trying to
determine the basis for their claim.
