don't set PM to automatically render html - exactly for this reason. if you want to see the message rendered, you can click onto the little globe at the bottom to be taken to your preferred web browser or select 'render html' from the little popup menu (also at the bottom of an html message). thus you can safely look at headers all you wish w/o any dangers involved.
