MPro show HTML e-mails as an attempt to render the HTML in the body of the message (usually quite a bit of a mess), with the HTML as an attachment. You can then click on the attachment to load it into a browser. It's a long time since I used Pluto, so I can't remember if it does that; I do remember control-G to load the HTML into the message window, and if MPro can do that, I haven't found out how. One thing that MPro does, and I don't think Pluto does, is that if you reply to or froward an HTML message, no matter if there are graphics as attachments as well as the HTML, the resulting message is received on the Dark Side as a standard HTML message. I haven't been able to check this myself, but I've never had the usual Windows-users' whinge that they can't read the message, as one gets when one replies bottom-posted :-) Anyway this is getting off-topic here; should it be continued on the MPro list?
