Ben is correct. However, I do feel that the ASCII vs. HTML/XML fight will at some point be won by the make it look pretty crowd. However, I also think the ASCII/text fight will be won, not on the desktop, but where more mail is soon to be flowing that is via cell phones, PDAs, and the like. But I also agree that a wonderful idea would be to have an option to decode the HTML on the fly as it comes in, of course that would probably require a whole new text engine. In the meantime, people can use the existing AppleScript's as a band-aid.
