html emails are how the majority of businesses (including apple) send out
newsletters and such. This is how it will be, no point in trying to hold
back the tide and insist on text only. Therefore, apples emailX should be
able to handle html email better. You may be able to do other things while
the beach ball is spinning, but what you cant do is look at any other
emails! Even clicking on a html email to delete it, starts the d/l process.
Most annoying on an adsl. Even worse when I am using the 56k on the ibook.
