[pmmail-list] What is wrong with my setup?

Sat, 30 Aug 2003 13:57:44 +0200 (CEST)

In PMMAIL for OS/2, you open the message to be read, then click on the Window tab, 
then choose "view message in web browser" in the menu (you may have to open your 
browser prior to this) and the message appears in its original form (HTML).

|I really do need to understand enough to properly set up PMMail 2000.  I got a 
message today from a 
|person whose mail I must be able to read. It began with stuff like this:
|
|"<HTML><HEAD>
|<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">
|<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1141" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
|<BODY>
|<P>
|<DIV></DIV> . . . "
|
|and then had text and above type weirdness interspersed.  I copied to notepad and 
deleted the 
|quoted stuff and could read the message.  I decided to write the author and ask 
what type of email 
|reader was being used (with the idea of suggesting just using plain text).  So I 
clicked on reply and 
|quote and to my surprise, the message appeared in the new message window reading 
without the 
|garbage and in different fonts, etc,.  
|
|So my question, what happened that allowed the message to appear correctly in the 
new message 
|window when it did not when viewing the original message.  And, how should I set 
up PMMail so I can 
|read the message without having to start a reply?
|
|TIA for all help.
