Please don't hijack unrelated message subjects, as its bad mailing-list 
etiquette.  As such, I've re-titled this reply accordingly.

I've seen this issue in the simulator, but you're the first to report it 
on an actual device.  Its good to know that it happens on a real device, 
so fixing it will become higher priority for me.

Here's the technical explanation...

There are two APIs that can be used on a BlackBerry for displaying HTML 
content: BrowserField and BrowserField2.

The original BrowserField API is all we have on OS 4.2 through 4.7, and 
is a complicated mess to figure out.  It uses the older device web 
browser engine, and works just fine on OS 5.0 as well.  I also took the 
time to implement this one, so this is what LogicMail currently uses.

The new BrowserField2 API was introduced in OS 5.0, and is much cleaner 
and simpler to use.  It uses the newer browser engine introduced in OS 
4.6 (RIM loves to introduce things long before publishing an API), and 
the newest WebKit engine on OS 6.0.  I haven't yet added BrowserField2 
support to LogicMail, but it is on my to-do list.

As you have discovered, the original BrowserField API simply does not 
work on OS 6.0.  So my plan is to add BrowserField2 support for my OS 
5.0 and 6.0 builds.

Simply adding BrowserField2 support for just showing HTML content is 
actually pretty easy.  I've done quick-and-dirty test versions of it 
locally already.  The problem is figuring out how to get font sizing, 
layout, scrolling, etc, all to work cleanly on both OS 5.0 and 6.0 
(which use different code under the covers).

If I add BrowserField2 support this weekend (which I could), then it may 
have to be added in two phases:
1) Just add support so things work again
2) Clean up all the other issues with HTML message loading and display, 
add more configuration options, etc.  (this will need to happen after I 
clean up the code that handles message loading, also on my to-do list)

I hope that all made sense :-)
