The "IE Control" thing is what Entourage uses to render HTML mail.
Unfortunately, instantiating it seems to require at least 1 megabyte of
available application space for the first instantiation and 100+k for each
additional window.
I've no problem with displaying HTML...my complaint was only with the tool
which they're using. So far as I can recall it has been a source of user
problems since they started using it.

Entourage only generates HTML mail if the user does something that would
make it HTML'sh.
Granted that the application defaults to a state wherein it's quite easy to
do things HTML'sh. ;-)
