Hi Jon, i was fighting with this before too. When you only want to desplay the HTML then the IE control would be OK. But when you also wanna use its editmode to create HTML messages then it really sucks. because it creates really aweful HTML that is not usable. The best would to use gecko (mozilla) or some other lightweight (X)HTML control.
