We are discussing HTML mail, was that unclear?

Was it unclear that I was specificly talking about reading HTML mail?

Sounds like it has HTML mail support, is it comparable to PMMail 2000's
support or better?

And it looks like The Bat! handles links to attachments from this email
message I found:

TB (Quite correctly) will only show in-line pictures included with the
mail.  Any  pictures  that  are  external  to  the mail and need to be
retrieved  with  an HTTP GET command are outside the scope of an email
client  and  require  a web browser to work correctly. TB is not a web
browser and shows a place marker where such images exist.

I couldn't find anything on what HTML engine they use.
