I have been unable to reproduce with the latest build I received from
Peter 2 days ago, on Windows. This has not been updated in the OS/2
code at this time, which leads to your next post....

I am sure some of the issues that are resolved do exist in the OS/2
version. The problem is that the OS/2 code has not seen the significant
changes that the Windows code has. From my posting to this list Wed, 08
May 2002 "Bug List for PMMail Beta":

There have been no changes in this focus and we are still working
towards that goal.

Yes, to the best of my knowledge, that is the control that wxWindows
uses to render HTML. As I said, we have not begun working with
wxWindows at this time, and until we are  and see how things are going
to work I can't say that there will not be any changes. Lots of things
can change in 2 months, especially with a very active open source API
such as wxWindows.
