PMMail reads and displays the actual code of the attachment. I would
imagine this is both dependant on available system memory and video
card memory in order to display the large amount of text, not to
mention the process of decoding the file. I will check with Peter to
find out if it is possible to have attachment viewing as an on/off
option versus the only option.

I am not sure about whether PMMail/2 handles decoding the same as the
Windows version.
