Thanks Paul, but Safari is already set as my default web browser -- and has been so for two or three years now. I don't know why certain HTML files get assigned Explorer as their 'open with...' parameter.
Apart from the PM issue, the only time that I normally see Internet Explorer-assigned documents is with HTML Help files supplied on a 3rd party disk image (eg. shareware) where presumably the author has, for their own reasons, actively assigned Explorer as the creator. But why the HTML portion of an email (which, as I understand it, gets separated off from the 'rest' of the email -- headers, plain text content, etc -- by Powermail) should have Internet Explorer assigned as its creator is a mystery. (Note that this only applies to those HTML mails for which PM is unable display the HTML in the browser window and thus provides the HTML portion as an attached file -- although I'm still not sure quite what determines which way PM deals with a given HTML message). Could it be a bit of legacy code in PM dating back to it's OS9 days, ie. pre-Safari, when IE was the default installed browser on the Mac?
