Sorry Rodney.  Some of my comments were intended to be taken with a
grain or two of salt, and not literally.  For instance, I know that no
one here stated that BSW is risking "the downfall of Western
civilization" should they attempt to add HTML viewing into PMMail/2.  I
suppose I was remiss in not adding a grin <g> to my comments so here
are a couple of extra ones.<g><g>  

The only point I was trying to make, is that none of the excuses
offered so far have come from BSW.  They're the people I addressed my
questions to since they're only ones who can provide us with a
knowledgable response.  Everyone else's comments - including mine - may
be interesting and even informative, but certainly none of us would
consider them to be authoritative vis-a-vis BSW and PMMail.

Thanks,

Ralph
