   This is a _bad_ idea, for two reasons: 

1. the ones you mention, i.e. because the "browser of choice" would 
honor all those external links including webbugs in the HTML code; 

2. because a regular browser is not able to follow the _internal_ links 
in a multi-part HTML messages which refer not to HTTP external links, 
but to CIDs i.e. Content-IDs of other parts of a MIME message which is 
declared as multipart/related. 

   I want PMMail to have 

a) better handling of MIME multipart structures
b) an HTML renderer (not browser) also on OS/2 which does at least the 
rendering job as the Windows version of PMMail. 

   But, please, we have had this debate so many times on the list ...
