No, but that is somethin I would never do, since your web browser 
has no idea that the loacal html file you ask it to open was 
received by email and that it should not run any scripts in the page nor
send http: requests to download any images which are not embedded (web bugs).
Using PMMail but viewing HTML emails in your web browser makes you almost
as vulnerable as using Outlook. (Not quite, because you won't have data in 
exploitable address books).
