It is a 100% useful response. If you want HTML mail, PM is not the
client for you. What can be more clear and concise? I absolutely hate it
when non-newbies start whining about HTML. You've obviously used
computers, email, the internet and PM for some time now, figure it out!

I'll sorta concede to PM needing to get along. Except it already does,
as mentioned every month on this board and repeatedly in this thread.
Again, if you don't like its implementation of HTML (or windows, or
shortcuts, or the toolbar buttons), buy something else. What is the big
deal????? If you dislike Coke and like Pepsi, do you drink Coke every
day and write Coke saying you should make your beverage taste like
Pepsi? It's a big market, use what you want and learn what you use.

And, since I know what comes next, don't bother telling me, "I like the
other features, just not this one. So why can't I whine about it?" The
answer is, people are sick of the whining. Obviously, anybody "on the
fence" needs to reassess their wants and needs and either learn to like
PM or learn to like one of the other clients.

So what? It's today, not tomorrow. Get the appropriate email client
tomorrow when tomorrow arrives.

Make up your mind, Mikael. Do you want text or HTML?
