My solution is to keep html off, and open html in my browser should it happen to be from someone I know. Which is very very rare. Most html ends up in my spam folder and I just look at it unrendered before sending it to trash. Other items to note in evaluation PM: Check all the preferences and the menus, sometimes things are not where you would think, intuitively, they should be. And SpamSieve works well with PM for Spam identification or whatever you call it. -- Barbara Needham
