Nobody will keep you from using PMMail with HTML - as long as you put the HTML 
stuff into attachments (where it belongs). The same applies to incoming mail: 
there are many examples what happens with inline HTML (and maybe JavaScript) 
code; moreover, you also don't expect GIFs, JPEGs or even MPEGs to be supported 
as inline mail data, so why do you do so with HTML? All thos tuff should be 
handled by dedicated applications and PMMail should focus on its core 
competence, an email client. Not another "all-in-one" application that is able 
to do a bit of everything but nothing in perfect.

Regards
